I have a problem with my knees and the physio said it is time to move that ass (literally). Overweight + weak glutes = bad knees. Time to (quoting Lobster..I think..) Shakyabooty!

Re: Discipline in the Path

Rising early, following the precepts, sitting daily, being quiet when necessary, and speaking with right speech and intention when required—this takes time and development. Once, I believed this brought a much-needed sense of discipline, but in my case, it has been life’s punches that revealed how foolish I was for not following them sooner.

Perhaps discipline and awareness can prevent such unnecessary suffering. Once you truly see it, it’s not as easy to fall back. Still, I cannot forget that the flaws in my character can reignite like dry tumbleweeds quite easily. Thus, the precepts and sitting are non-negotiable.

Discipline is the catalyst for the acceptance of change.
It is discipline that brings one to the cushion.
It is discipline that keeps one seated, even when every part wants to rise.
It is discipline that gives awareness the freedom to roam.
And it is disciplined awareness that remains open to change.

I would go for a walk but the sun is scorching. I tend to do my walks in the morning or evening.

My cousin went with a group of friends to Lanzarote for holidays. I told him I "know" someone from there. Small world, @Kotishka!
