23 days into writing a thousand words. Writer's block feeling is creeping up. Damn, I knew this day would come. Scratch that 'damn', I can't complain. No, really, I can't complain. I'm about a week into my new goal of catching myself whenever I complain, ideally before the words leave my mouth. A mental complaint … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 23: Habits, Self-Control, Spirituality, Attachment.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 21: Family Fun, Living in the Moment, Huxley’s “Island.”
I'm at Maria's family's house for the day. Her brother Luis picked us up at home last night and brought us here. Whenever we come we bring some pizza and everyone has a great pizza dinner, everyone talking in a lively manner, some on the computer, some on their phones, but everyone interacting. Although my … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 21: Family Fun, Living in the Moment, Huxley’s “Island.”

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 19: Setting Daily Goals to Create Habits.
I thought I'd just take a moment to reflect today on all the goals I'm currently working on achieving, and since I've yet to write today's thousand words anyway, I thought writing about my goals would be a great way to reflect on them a for good while. I'm not talking about extremely ambitious, long-term … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 19: Setting Daily Goals to Create Habits.
1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 16: Notes From Past Months.
I wonder why God wanted Adam and Eve to live in ignorance. It seems that once the snake showed up it opened their eyes to the fact that God lied. He had told them that if they ate from the fruit of the forbidden tree they would surely die. As we know though, they didn't … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 16: Notes From Past Months.
1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 12: Impermanence of Life, Strength of Spirit.
Life flows from one moment to the next, from pleasure to pain, non-stop. We wonder what it all means, what is the right way to live, or the wrong way.

1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 10: Cannabis, Self-Reflection and Writing.
The culture here in Honduras is very different from the one I experienced and became a part of in Canada. Most of the experiences which have truly shaped my personality the most up to this point are those that I had in Canada after my parents decided to move there when I was ten, at least until recently when … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 10: Cannabis, Self-Reflection and Writing.
1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 7: Visionary Revelations of the Now.
Images flooding my mind, some familiar, some seemingly random. I close my eyes and patterns begin to form, geometric, kaleidoscopic, a tingling sensation running through my whole body, up my spine, into my cranium and brain. I recognize the truth of living in this moment, I feel it stronger than ever, the obvious truth. Different … Continue reading 1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 7: Visionary Revelations of the Now.
1,000 WORDS (2nd attempt): DAY 5: Personality, Truth & Love.
It is interesting to think about which traits of a person might be a part of his or her personality, and which might be part of something innate and belonging to the very soul of the individual.
