A very interesting talk by a Buddhist monk that provides a great deal of insight. Long video, but you've spent an hour listening to things far less worthwhile. This is an hour that will make you think. You don't have to watch, as much as listen.
Kris and I got back yesterday from a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Jay, a friend of mine, took us down to his parents house in Brazoria, TX. We've been down there many times, and this weekend was just as amazing as all the others. Three days of games, drinks and relaxation with our friends.
The subject of this entry, however, is related to our drive back on Monday. The weather in Texas has been rainy all weekend, and on Monday morning, we found ourselves in Houston in terrible weather. A torrential downpour was flooding streets and crippled traffic. During this downtime in the trip, Kris began asking me random questions, as she often does during car travel. One of the questions was, "Do you have a desire to learn how to fly a plane?" Very random, and my answer was, no, I have no desire to learn how to fly a plane. We discussed sailing, which is something I would like to learn, and then the topic moved to something equally as random, involving Kris designing an underground barn for her farm.
The question did cause me to start thinking about life dreams. Things I'd like to do in my lifetime. Not "make money", or "have kids", but the fun things I'd like to accomplish. The attainable wishes.
So, here is my list of things I would like to accomplish. They are all things I could accomplish with preparation and/or funding. Whether I am able to do them remains to be seen, but its what I'd like to do.
Thru-hike the Appalachian Trail
Travel to Cambodia
Learn to Meditate (I've started this one)
Setup my own Disc Golf course
Scuba dive a shipwreck
Finish writing my book (I have one in the works, but doesn't everybody?)
Its a partial list, and I may add more as I remember dreams. Anyone reading, please post a comment with your life dreams.
