on being versus doing

someone said at some point that
politics is spirituality demonstrated.
. maybe ...

but i feel that doing is spirituality, demonstrated; or, if you will, doing is being, expressed (when you do something, you are expressing what you are ... being).

and at the moment i'm tired; it's of my own making; i know that (yesterday i stayed till 3 o'clock in the morning, reading again).

but when i'm in this mood, i'm usually choosing a strive for simplicity for myself. maybe i'm just choosing what makes me confortable since i'm allready tired; that is ...

... simple food (i had rice and grilled salmon, no salad, simple water to dring and so on) ...

... and simple clothing (i'd wear simple, black or white, loose sshirts right now, if i had any with me) ...

... and nothing i don't really need ...


well ... anyway!
what i'm trying to say here is that while looking at the small, everyday choices it makes it easy to see where you are ... spiritually.

i can see where i'm coming from (if you will) with knowing i'll be tired the next day and still staying half the night to read;

... and with knowing i have to give money back and still borrowing some more so that i can get to buy what i'm craving for (like scuba equipment);

... and also with going to dive (almost) every weekend;

... and with reading net tutorials on taking better pictures;

... and with trying at some point to cook fried rice ... and succeeding (i'm stil proud of that accomplishment by the way).


looking around myself, i get this concept that i'm going for everything i want (well ... for some things faster than others), while spending more money than i sometimes have, and still making ends meet ... with no effort on my part; and while i know that my friends have cars and i don't, i also know that i said (from the beginning) that i didn't want to get one;


i'm living my choices ... and sometimes i'm living my dreams ... (maybe it's because i'm choosing my dreams to live up to ... who knows?)
... and it's a wonderfull state ... that of being successfull ...
... and a happy thought ... of knowing that ...




after all that, i can say i was successfull last night in getting myself tired today :D


good luck with your choices,
