Beautiful thoughts
I have at least a few times a day:
Holy shit, I am alive—how amazing is that. I can breathe, I can feel, I can press things on my body and then I get a sensation.
I feel compassion for those who are too late in realizing this.
It’s amazing. You are like a commander in a body; you can go from your fingertips to your toes. There is always something new to see.
Or the sunshine feeling on your face.
Or spending a night thinking about loved ones you miss.
Or the change of seasons.
Or coffee and my new milk frother.
For me, the above is what consciousness and creation stand for. Consciousness is realizing that all of this is happening. Creation means that you can create beautiful moments with yourself, or with others—moments where you stop and enjoy—and that is what I am already looking forward to.
It’s already there.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. This is the moment you have been looking for. That feeling—what you are doing right now—is what makes you happiest: just writing something, looking forward to lunch, and realizing that you don’t have any big problems right now. My biggest problem is that I have to pick up my passport.
And that I have a lot of ideas. I always have beautiful ideas, but there are so many, and they are so much fun that I want to hear them all—so sometimes I even forget to work.
Beautiful Thoughts
A few times a day, at least, I think:
Holy shit—I’m alive.
How amazing is that?
I can breathe.
I can feel.
I can press my hands against my body and sensation appears.
I feel compassion for those who realize this too late.
It’s astonishing. You are like a commander inside a body, able to travel from your fingertips to your toes. There is always something new to notice.
The warmth of sunlight on your face.
A night spent thinking about people you miss.
The quiet shift of the seasons.
Coffee—and my new milk frother.
For me, this is what consciousness and creation mean.
Consciousness is realizing that all of this is happening.
Creation is noticing it—and allowing yourself to make beautiful moments, alone or with others. Moments where you stop. Where you enjoy.
And the strange thing is: I’m already looking forward.
But it’s already here.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. This is the moment you’ve been waiting for. That feeling—right now, in this ordinary moment—is what happiness is made of. Writing a few lines. Looking forward to lunch. Realizing that, at this moment, nothing is seriously wrong.
My biggest problem is that I have to pick up my passport.
And that I have too many ideas. I always have beautiful ideas. There are so many of them, and they are so much fun, that I want to listen to all of them—so sometimes I even forget to work.
And honestly, that feels like a very good problem to have.

In One Look
Like a farmer looking at a bull,
I look only at the state of my whole body. Like a farmer looking at a bull.
Does the skin shine?
Do I feel good?
Am I ever sick?
Do my muscles look healthy?
What is my posture, also in relation to others?
Where is my strength—am I explosive, do I feel the energy?
Sexuality.
In a single glance, I can see the state of my own health.
The danger is focusing too much on one small part of health.
For example: Are my teeth white? Do I have a six-pack?
If you have to give up things like “feeling good” or sexuality for that, it isn’t worth it.

Like a farmer studying a bull,
I look only at the condition of my whole body.
Does the skin have a healthy glow?
Do I feel well?
Do I get sick often?
Do my muscles look strong and alive?
What is my posture—also in relation to others?
Where is my power: am I explosive, do I feel energy moving through me?
Sexuality.
At a single glance, I can read the state of my own health.
The danger is narrowing your focus to one small detail of health.
For example: Are my teeth white? Do I have a six-pack?
If achieving that costs you your sense of well-being or your sexuality, it isn’t worth it.
