Same...

People are the same, everywhere. Never has a statement both comforted and disappointed me in equal amounts. Situations change, but human reactions remain predictable.

Day Off today....not doing anything..No parties, no drinking, no walking around town
Just me, my balcony (sans room mates), Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and my kindle. Peace.
Perhaps I'll go for a swim. It is slightly muggy today and a swim may be the cure.. I will (and am) lay down and soak up the sun. No co workers, television, sailing. Today, I get to know myself. My favorite activity...contemplative solitude.

People talk too much...everywhere...all the time. Socializing is fine...and necessary but words should be used sparingly and with an overall purpose...not to be spat out at rapid fire, hoping to hit a desirable target in the process...Silence and solitude is becoming more and more one of my favorite posessions in life. I always fight to remind myself not to take it to an extreme, lest I become a hermit.
But for now...until I find that equilibrium, I must admit that my quiet time, sitting by the ocean, getting my feet wet under the moonlight, or an early morning swim, is the most spiritual rituals I take part in.

I've always sat on the peripheries of social interactions for most of my life...it is only as of late that that seat has become comfortable and worn to perfection, like an old pair of reliable sneakers...or a favorite shirt.. Once in a while I will venture into the realm of social roles and group interaction...but I know where I feel most comfortable and know myself best...and that is alone, with my thoughts and a serene environment....music always helps.

Until next time...
