Buddhist diet

I am adding two images of the blackboard painting that I have started last week.

It is still in a very early stage and it will change many times before I will call it done but this is a first glimpse.

Jules and I put ourselves on a "Buddhist Diet".

In this discipline, we do not eat anything after lunch.

We eat a breakfast and a lunch and sometimes a snack also, but nothing at all for dinner beside some herbal or green tea.

It fits well with our belief that it is important to discipline the mind and body.

Anyone that have tried to meditate knows that the mind seems to have a "monkey nature".

It keeps on jumping from thought to thought.

But it can be disciplined to be quiet with effort.

So does the body. If we do not jump to satisfy the body's whims, we teach it to work with us instead of giving it permission to have a "life of its own".

We are on day ten of this diet and it seems to be working very well for us.
