Q: How do you know when you've finally taken too much?
A: When the last natural breath leaves your body.
Q: What do you do when you feel the need to run away?
A: You stay where you are and show no fear.
Q: How can I do that, how can I hide my fear and stay where I am?
A: You look into your heart.
You look deep inside your heart, and you find the will to fight.
You learn to live again, and learn to move past your sins.
You turn your fear to strength and survive at length.
You smile when you want to cry and you live when you want to die.
When you get thrown to the ground, you face your foe as you stand up proud.
You live and you learn and you will forgive but not forget.
And when you feel like you best is not enough, you give more.

Such is the way of things. I meditated a couple nights ago...It made me feel alive, an relaxed. But, mostly it made me feel connected, to the earth, to the sky, to the wind, to my heart, and to those of much importance. I think I'll work on looking for the good inside myself next time I meditate. I really need to learn to see it. And after that, self-control.
I really need to ask my mom about these classes at a Buddhist temple in town...But I'm kind of afraid she won't let me. I suppose it can't hurt to ask...Because the class could really do some good...Plus, I'm really starting to look into Buddhist beliefs, because they make the most sense to me. They answer most of my questions thus far. I disagree about some things, but that's bound to happen, yeah?
Anyway, I'm not feeling well, so I'm thinking I'm gonna go meditate and then maybe take a nap, cause I'm exhausted...Or I could just do laundry...Although, the helpfulness of laundry in ridding me of exhaustion escapes me at the moment. eek
Or I might go take a walk...In the really cold rain...Getting my pants, shoes, socks, and/or legs soaked in the process...You know what? Taking a walk doesn't seem like such a good idea...I'll just go do laundry. xd
Later my lovely people.
