Meditation

"Optimism is the Mormonk's bread and butter. Though it may not seem to be so, negativity is an indulgence... one that any Mormonk does his best to deny himself." ~The Mormonk

OK, to begin with, I found the most awesome combination in the world. Ready? Applesauce pancakes and DI chili.


Doesn't that just look delectable?

Being a Mormonk is much more emotionally draining than I had imagined it would be. I mean, I knew it was going to cut me off from the world. To a degree, that was the point. But this is really starting to wear on me.

You wanna know what it awesome, though? Morning meditation. Knowing nothing about real monk meditation, I simply decided to make it the time of day where I spent some time thinking about what it is I really want out of life, and who it is I am, really. And you know what? It works. It felt wonderful to just sit and think about how awesome life can be... will be, even.

I think one of the problems in life is that we become so wrapped up in the nonsense of the day-to-day grind that we forget to take care of ourselves. Being a monk has allowed me to do that. In fact, I feel obligated now to read my scriptures and say my prayers. I also feel guilty about wasting time and not being productive. My life is awesome right now.

Hopefully, the next 30-odd days will be even more awesome than the first five have been.

Bless you, my child.
