Tried to do a speed workout today at the Gardens, but on the 2nd 100m sprint my left quad went bad and I had to stop after 5 sprints, probably going to take 1 week to heal, so back to slow running for the rest of my stay in Chiang Mai.
I was looking at a map of Chiang Mai yesterday and I saw there is a Saturday Night Walking Market on Wua Lai Rd, with the highlight being the Silver Temple. On my walk to the market I was able to accept the current health state of the earth, which is catastrophic melt down within a short time, most likely within a decade. It is like going to a doctor and getting a cancer diagnosis, with a time frame of a few months to live. How does one handle it, what happens to the mind and ego? In the case of the earth, there is no point in being angry, it's like being mad at cancer cells - won't do any good, and with the earth the cancer is human beings - can't get rid of them, they are multiplying and the more people the faster its death will arrive. Memories of what the sky and sun used to be filtered into my mind as I walked the market streets, casually gazing at the sky which was a dirty white due to geo-engineering - again, no point in getting angry at geo-engineering, people can rightly be described as hell-beings, so I cannot expect any good to come from hell and its inhabitants . Any good I happen to see is a rarity and a miracle, and it surely won't last long. The normal mode in hell is ignorance, greed, anger, and hatred, I can accept that, my body is also a hell-being, and once I realize where and what I am, things come into focus and all the negative energy can be deflected - call it geo-engineering of the soul - accept that things are going to be horrible, and then softly glide into a better realm.
