Let the games begin

The fire of Olympics will burn bright today as the opening ceremonies kick off this much anticipated modern day international sporting event. As of the moment, according to the London2012 Olympics official countdown in this website we are just down to 21H and 33M ^^ Recalling my fondest memories, watching in front of TV, missing a day at the school to watch the artistic production of the host country's Olympic Opening Ceremonies -- mmm, I particularly loved the Greece's spectacular production on Athens2004 Summer Olympics. Also there was Beijing 2008! Splendidly organized by Zhang Yimou (House of Flying Daggers, Hero).

Since attending a class on Classical Greek Civilization, I really marvel at how the Olympics evolved from its beginning in 776 BC in Ancient Greece as fundamentally a religious practice among city-states alongside sporting events and ritual sacrifices to honor the great Olympian God Zeus. Imagining the mighty field-soldiers Spartans fighting against the navy-savvy Athenians! I wonder how different is the opening ceremonies before as compared to the now ^^

Anyways, I flow with the worlds anticipation as the Opening Ceremonies is just hours to go.

your lips
cannot express
how things
have made your heart broken.

Living the question

...have patience with everything, that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will, gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.

New cycle

New moon is coming! Another new cycle for us here on earth. Another fresh start is yet granted to us by our Mother Nature. This morning, I want to list down the changes and development in my life so far:

1. New routine ---> Waking up early in the morning to listen to teachings and write some inner reflections.
2. Strengthening bonds and connection with friends and family.
3. Time for library to catch up in academic readings and studies.
4. Washing clothes on regular basis to keep from running out of clothes to wear.
5. Writing down expenses to check how effectively I manage my budget.
6. Regular updates on my journal and planner.

There, there, looks like I am just doing fine. Now preparing for the new cycle coming this week.
I should do some review of the previous two months to know which areas to improve and which areas are just doing fine.

Pronto!
