Winter Solstice

This becomes a time of reflection usually inclined to the more negative associations and perception, while this year I have realized a more certain focus, and gained strength from this years accumulated experience. A stoic reminder to the fact that experience points function exponentially in the forging and shaping of our overall character. There is very much to be gained from the acceptance of reality, of everything defined in nature and within whatever you happen to be experiencing. This new path I began tracing in 2007 fills me intensely with the strength I need to prevail and overcome every obstacle I encounter. This path stretches onward, reaching into the very core of my self to ignite the very passion of life.

It is curious to find this level of awareness with myself; a certain functional application in my outputs and subjective experience. For example, almost everything I spend my money on has a practical purpose or objective. This really goes beyond the rather meaningless practices of the 21rst centuries consumer society.

Training the other day in the city left me quite sore over the last few days. I honestly believe I've hit my next evolution...a more vertical leap in my abilities. Rest to begin the winter and it's feasting, and a gradual conditioning with the unique climate of New England, has proven itself to be a powerful ally in my quest. Parkour...the art of movement.
