All of them...............they all have the same ideology.........racist.

Who are you trying to convince you are not a racist? Me or you?

Nobody. I had a glass of delicious wheat grass juice (I add stevia and fireweed honey), fresh beets and kale soup with vegetable broth for lunch after my midday workout. The beets and kale were harvested from my garden.
Today was aerobic. 20 minutes on the stair climber, HB 140/min. for 20 minutes.

It would work for anybody if they adhered to it. ttq would have the most to gain but she's too entrenched to even give it a perfunctory try. Very, very bitter person.

i use mindfulness as a pick me up..for some reason my mediation has gone to pot.

I'm much better at intellectualizing then practicing -probably why Tibetan Buddhism works best for me.
I get lost in the bodhisattvas

Most Buddhists know Tara—simultaneously, a friend, savior, caring Bodhisattva and enlightened being.

May parents took great care not to bring the ugly parts of their upbringing with them. There was a great deal of racism in my formative years but also a transition to more enlightened beliefs.

It would take to long to walk through all the things that bring me now to explain the dusallusionment I feel now. Suffice it to say I am totally disgusted and embarrassed with the president and anyone who supports him.

I want to live in a great country. White racist Republicans are making it impossible to be a decent human. Shame shame shame.

I do vigorous swim workouts usually three times a week after which the mindfulness is not much effort. At first I'd look at my watch to see if I did a minimum of ten minutes. After much experience I'm done between ten and fifteen minutes with no effort without looking at time.
Once a week I do yang family style tai chi chaun in a group after meditation and Qi gong (same group).
I've a ton of respect for Buddhism , agree with virtually all of it, but the intellectualism is a bit much for me. Simplicity works best for me.

if you were to follow your own creed then you have nothing to be proud of your father for. He got where he was due to white privelege not due to any intellect on his party. Have you condemned him yet for this?

You obviously don't follow my posting carefully. I am for a merit based system understanding that it creates losers. On the trillions in the sidelines a robust welfare state is required.

you claim that you have this white privilege. So your father would have it too correct?
 
All democratic presidents were racist, except for Carter and Obama. So its rather ironic to hear Democrats complain about racist white republicans like they themselves come from this clean plate
