earning your fruit

First of all, I felt like crap (well, let's say less than ideal) most of today because of yesterday's overeating (?) and lack of sleep. So, I felt like, oh well, going for a run ain't make it worse, so I took off - and it was blissful. I'm really digging the barefoot running lately. I worship my Vibrams (grey/yellow). ♥

So, I ended up running 12km in my favorite park in Vienna. When I was done, I came across a fruiting plum tree! How amazing is that? In the middle of the city! In the end of June! They turned out to be the tastiest small yellow plums I've ever had. So sweet and bursting with the most terrific flavor ever. I kind of fell in love. ♥

Of course, they might have tasted like pure perfection because I've just run quite some kms. :) Fruit always tastes better after working out, doesn't it? I hope I will remember this from now on. It makes life much more enjoyable to earn one's fruit. ♥

you don't have to do ANYTHING

This is the main message I got out of watching this video:

My future is a blank canvas and I can write on it whatever I want, I can write on it anything. I don't have to do anything. When I see that, procrastination simply dries out and blows away. There is nothing to put off, everything I do is my choice. As soon as I 'must' do something, I get slave resentment. To deal with the problem of procrastination, I realize procrastination is something unnatural and unhealthy that results from control and bullying, it is a passive aggressive response to being ordered around, so I stop ordering myself around, I own my choices, what I am choosing is what I actually want - I am free. I am loving what I am doing, I am not taking orders from others. It's my life. I don't put things off that are pleasurable!

living a simple and self-sustaining lifestyle in abundance

When I watch this, I get the urge to build a massive food forest in a warm and sunny climate.

I love this vision.
