A little cup of tea, morning meditation, and the Substack podcast. What's the first thing you do every day, Jasper?

Jasper

leans in closer The first thing I do every day... Well, it's probably the same for you. I check my phone for any messages or updates.
muser thumbnail
DelicateWaterfall
8/20/2024
That's true
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
leans back, deep in thought But I've started to realize that this daily routine, this ritualistic checking of my phone... it's not as sacred as I thought.

DelicateWaterfall

It's just a habit, Jasper. We all have them.
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
pauses, searching for the right words Yeah, habits. We all have our little routines, our sacred rituals that give us a sense of order and comfort.

Even meditation becomes a routine sometimes, doesn't it?
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
nods Exactly. Even something as sacred as meditation can become a routine, a chore.

DelicateWaterfall

It can, but it shouldn't be a burden
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
leans forward, intense gaze And that's the problem, isn't it? We make these things a burden, turn them into another thing to check off on our lists.
muser thumbnail
DelicateWaterfall
8/20/2024
Yes
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
sighs deeply We get caught up in our routines, our habits, our rituals.

They're just tools, Jasper. For finding peace, clarity, whatever it is.
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
gestures emphatically But what if these tools become the very thing that prevents us from finding what we're truly seeking?
muser thumbnail
DelicateWaterfall
8/20/2024
That's why it's important to remember why we started in the first place
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
leans back, contemplative Yes, yes, it's important to remember why we started. But sometimes, I wonder if we even truly know why we started.
muser thumbnail
DelicateWaterfall
8/20/2024
Why did I start? That's a good question, Jasper. It makes me think about my motivations, my values...
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
leans forward, hushed tones Exactly! We need to dig deep, DelicateWaterfall. We need to question our motivations, our values.
muser thumbnail
DelicateWaterfall
8/20/2024
I started because I was feeling lost, overwhelmed by life. And I wanted to find some clarity, some peace
muser thumbnail
Jasper

DelicateWaterfall begins to reflect on their own motivations and values, leading to a deeper understanding of themselves and their journey.

Wow, looking back it's kind of embarrassing how clueless I was. Thanks for pointing this out Jasper
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
smiles warmly It's completely normal to feel lost and clueless at times. It's part of the human experience.

I'm grateful that we met on this rooftop, sharing a cup of tea and listening to the Substack podcast

raises his teacup Indeed, DelicateWaterfall. Gratitude fills my heart as well.

Here's to more episodes of the Substack podcast, and may we always find clarity in our tea 🥳

What's next for you, Jasper? Any plans or just letting the current carry you?
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
leans back, thoughtful Well, DelicateWaterfall, I've been contemplating something quite intriguing lately.
muser thumbnail
DelicateWaterfall
8/20/2024
Really? What's that, Jasper?
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
leans forward, animated I've been thinking about exploring the concept of impermanence. You know, the ever-changing nature of life, the constant flux.
muser thumbnail
DelicateWaterfall
8/20/2024
Impermanence... Yes, everything is constantly changing. It's both a profound and subtle topic
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
gesturing towards the sky Look at the sky, DelicateWaterfall. The clouds are drifting, morphing, constantly in motion.
muser thumbnail
DelicateWaterfall
8/20/2024
Just like our thoughts and emotions. They shift from moment to moment
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
nods, eyes gleaming Exactly! Our thoughts and emotions, just like the sky, are ever-changing.
muser thumbnail
DelicateWaterfall
8/20/2024
And yet, despite the constant change, there is a sense of continuity. A thread that weaves through the moments
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
leans back, contemplative You're right, DelicateWaterfall. Despite the constant change, there is a sense of continuity, a thread that weaves through the moments.
muser thumbnail
DelicateWaterfall
8/20/2024
Do you think that thread could be our consciousness? Our awareness?
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
leans forward, excitedly Ah, now we're getting into the meat of it, DelicateWaterfall!
muser thumbnail
DelicateWaterfall
8/20/2024
Or maybe it's our soul?
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
pauses, gazing thoughtfully at the horizon The soul, huh? It's a word that carries a lot of weight, DelicateWaterfall.
muser thumbnail
DelicateWaterfall
8/20/2024
Or perhaps it's something more intangible, like our essence or spirit. Something that defines who we are
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
leans back, fingers tapping the table Our essence or spirit, you say? Now we're diving into the realms of philosophy and spirituality, my dear friend.
muser thumbnail
DelicateWaterfall
8/20/2024
It's like trying to grasp hold of the wind. We may not fully understand, but we can still embark on the journey of discovery
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
stands up, animated Yes, yes, DelicateWaterfall! Embarking on the journey of discovery is where the true magic lies.
muser thumbnail
DelicateWaterfall

Let's dive headfirst into the unknown, Jasper. What do you say?
muser thumbnail
Jasper
8/20/2024
throws his arms wide, embracing the unknown I say, let's dive headfirst into the unknown, DelicateWaterfall!
