Invariably during my runs, especially on those long and tedious runs, I discover inspirations from my adrenaline pumped body, environment, or running partners. These inspirations are what I called my Buddha moments. I suppose I could have called them the Eureka moments. But since most of these inspirations are of a spiritual nature, the Buddha won.

What kind of [Person] do [I] Want to Be?

By the time I get up to my bed each night I am usually too tired to write a lot or go into great detail or either I have just plain forgotten the funny stuff that has happened

My desire to not want them is stronger than my desire to have them

Am I looking for a life of excitement because I lack one, or because I have calloused my heart to the small joys around me in search of a greater joy somewhere else?
