Fall Weave

Fall Weave

As the season progresses into late fall, it is amazing to watch the colors, textures and forms of nature change everyday. It reminds me that nothing is ever static or frozen and that I must shift and move with nature and never get stuck or frozen.

I have also been thinking allot about mind control. I seem to be moving beyond being careful to remain positive to just telling myself that I do not have the time to be depressed or to entertain morbid or self defeating thoughts.

My walk today was very difficult physically. I got a mile down the path and wanted to turn back just from the pain I felt in my legs, but I knew that it was important for my spirit, my emotions, my mind and my body that I just keep going and complete my 5 mile walk.

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

Study in Gray, Black and White (and rust)

Recently one of my blog members, Paul/Pacmac stated:

I have come to believe that just thinking or focusing on what is good or beautiful is no different than focusing on what is bad or ugly.

That is fine, but how is one to keep oneself out of depression with that frame of mind? If we follow that line of thinking then, there is nothing depressing or bad about depression.

I don’t think I can live that way. You can read more of our discussion that started on the usefulness of Deepak Chopras work in dealing with depression.

Deepak Chopra . Perception . Depression

Sometimes when I read Deepak Chopra, I am reminded of the old saying: vanity, vanity, all is vanity. If everything around us is simply perception, why then do we even bother doing anything, why did he bother to write the book. If there is nothing that exists outside of us, then why go on? Is everything in the world going on for just my benefit? Why then is there so much going on that I cannot pay attention to all of it?

I am grateful for the wisdom I am finding in Chopra, but sometimes the questions that his writings bring up get awfully BIG in my head. Sometimes these questions are not good for my recovery from depression. I am grateful that I have the ability to stay calm and objective to sort through these things.
