Lack of Direction

2008 was going to be the year I got some direction in my life, I had hoped. But with a baby on the way and The Credit Crunch impacting all over the world, that direction turns out to be battening down the hatches and a hang-onto-that-job siege mentality. Which isn't all bad; the wife and I have been doing some DIY, cutting back on the work hours and enjoying a bit more family time.

I haven't written much recently.

I've been feeling very settled, very centred. Spiritually, life is feeling very simple. It seems like all these religions have their dogma and their specific details that they seem to get very worked up about, and about the only thing that everyone agrees on is that "being in the moment" is a good thing. It's funny how various spiritual (as I see it) people believe all sorts of things (some of which totally contradict each other) and yet they all share a presence - a calm, mindful imperturbability. So it seems that spiritual development may have less to do with what is being learned or believed, and more to do with just Being.
