That Indiana Jones is back and another Kennedy are dying both seem important. Maybe not in the grand scheme of the universe, but in some symbolic Americana type of way. Icons. Maybe that’s what this year is all about: being larger than life. And I wonder if the way you get there from here isn’t just enlarging your own life somehow, just embracing more of it, taking more risks, putting yourself out there more and just letting go of results. In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna talks about letting go of the fruits of your actions. He doesn’t talk about sitting there listless and just not doing anything.

Spent most of today helping out with the filming of two new Jason Dove Diaries, both of which I play bit parts in.

When you push into a new space in your life, it can be hard to get your bearings again. Everything may look the same, but feel totally different. What I find is that my responses to things are changing: my emotional and mental habits. Some of the old ones sneak back in when I’m not looking, or when I get presented with novel or exciting situations, but in general things are not just good, but very good. And I find more and more everyday this intense sensation that the reason I exist at all is simply to go out and share it, to help give other people the gifts I’ve been given. Gotta take it day by day though. That’s all you got.
