Re: No Time for Regrets
Perhaps you experienced a period of minutes, even hours, maybe days when the sense of self temporarily dropped away and the moment in all it's fullness was simply present and happening. Sometimes falling in love is like that for some people. Other have found it in moments out in nature. Some even claim to have found it in sport when suddenly they aren't playing the game of tennis, or golf or whatever but they feel like the game is just being played through them
I've never experienced that.

Re: No Time for Regrets
Do you love music, or nature, the ocean?
Neither, particularly.

Re: No Time for Regrets
I was right just to read the motorcycling bits then...
I liked the author's idea about "gumption." That's mostly what I remember about that book.

Re: Mortality and Motivation
How old are you, rr? Are you really too old to make up for some of the things you've done?
57. Theoretically, I'm not too old, but practically speaking . . .

Re: Awareness
What do you mean by 'awareness'?
"Consciousness," perhaps. We have a private experience of it.
