There's such a fall wind blowing outside. I had a great conversation with my dad today about dreams, being home, craving the simple life- and interesting to talk to Bonne right after because even though the soccer game would have been fun, I have absolutely no desire to be out at the clubs right now. I would rather be here, reading, writing. Now of course I'm too lazy to write it all down but my conversation with my dad made me think about so many things- not things that were new, but just ways of thinking that made me feel better, more content. Maybe life is about training yourself into certain ways of thinking- just like weight training to achieve a certain physical shape, you can repeat certain mantras to yourself to improve yourself spiritually, etc. It goes along with the thing of the Universe and willing what you want to happen. I think that the bottom line is that it's all a game and you have to just play and not take yourself too seriously. You have your game, your goal, and your gains, and what I need to gain is the value of patience.
