"We could say that meditation doesn't have a reason or doesn't have a purpose. In this respect it's unlike almost all other things we do except perhaps making music...When we make music we don't do it in order to reach a certain point, such as the end of the composition. If that were the purpose of music then obviously the fastest players would be the best...And exactly the same thing is true in meditation. Meditation is the discovery that the point of life is always arrived at in the immediate moment." -Alan Watts
Make your time at CF reflect the same principle...IN THE MOMENT!

I don't know about you all, but when my heart rate, and breathing are maxed and my muscles are straining and demanding evermore oxygen to continue to function; in these moments of extreme excertion does one not feel anymore alive than that?
Indeed!
Isn't it a cool (or cruel) bit of irony that the very same "alive moments" we extoll bear an uncanny resemblance to those that make me want to shoot myself & end the misery?! It's all in how you look at it!
