An Hour A Day
Despite being hesitant and blatantly lonely, I can’t put this off any longer. A list of achievements scribbled on receipts, scraps are strewn about my desk and before I attend to these, I bring myself back to my side.
My mind works against me, doesn’t let me sleep. When I do, I can dream up to 64 hours of information before I get ready for my 8 hour day. It restrains me from people, from exploration, and has an insidious filter when it comes to everything. It nourishes my vengeance and grudges, feeds my fears. What a power. How much greater could it be should I direct it towards the good of its owner.
By bringing myself back to my side, it means a double powered new person. On point decision making, increased creativity, pain and stress relief, abates arthritis, insomnia, body form and control, breathing and blood flow, even considerably lowering chances of heart disease. These are all results of meditation, yo.
I never thought much of it before, I see monks, I see orange, I see fighting, and then I see Dragonball.
No, it’s just me taking an initiative to work on me. All these benefits rest on top of a high mountain, and it takes one’s recognition of the present with a clear mind to climb it.
To a happy and successful (single) life.

My mind works against me, doesn't let me sleep. When I do, I can dream up to 64 hours of information before I get ready for my 8 hour day.it's just me taking an initiative to work on me. All these benefits rest on top of a high mountain, and it takes one's recognition of the present with a clear mind to climb it.I believe these lines are so much deeper than it seems…It is also when you are blatantly alone that each and every second, minute, and hour seem much longer..Also, the recognition of the present is something that everyone needs to move on, but is so difficult to do so. That is why when one discovers themselves…they can truly embrace life and its fruits at the top of the mountain. I've read this before, but never with this much understanding.Look forward to another update,Anon
