Re-awaken the Dragon

It's been a busy summer and fall this year and I am more than ready for a little boredom in my life.  Having a little down time to contemplate life and all it's intricacies would be a sweet morsel to say the least.

Life becomes very two dimensional for me when all I have time to do is act and react to external stimuli. Rushing from one race to the next, never getting the chance to scrutinize my technique or what I could have done better.  Seeing but barely having the time to acknowledge, let alone enjoy the the beauty that surrounds me on a daily basis.  Doing the things that need to be done for friends and loved ones, but not stopping to connect with them and make it personal.  I feel like only my output cord is plugged in and my input is laying with the dust bunnies beneath the cabinet.

So without any guilt attached, I am going to slow down, breathe deeply (a little re-Awakening the Dragon may help) and reattach that input cord.
