Colin Beavan is a New Yorker who felt be working very guilty about that polar bears are left without pole and decided to throw a year without generating waste, without using electricity without emitting CO2. He called his project "No Impact Man" and dragged his wife and two year old daughter with him. Then he wrote a book I'm reading and I recommend to everyone world (that means I'm enjoying it a lot).
Beavan no lectures, do not believe morally superior, and is not a cake. On the contrary, writes unashamedly about their blunders, their anger, their flaws, make jokes about the fights with his wife and laughs at his own stubbornness. At the same time, reflect on what happiness means to him, learn many interesting things and wonder where you take your life.
is supposed to be a green book, but I learned long ago not much of a book is not Buddhist.
Yesterday I read this: " One day this week to consider bringing Isabella [his daughter two years] to the park. It was to me, running around like a duck on the sidewalk. When we had not advanced or half a block, stopped playing with a chain hanging from a boca de incendios: le daba toquecitos con un dedo para que se balanceara hacia delante y hacia atrás, esperaba pacientemente a que se quedara parada y volvía a golpearla con el dedo, fascinada. Traté de tirar de ella para darnos prisa en llegar al parque.
Empezó a llorar.
Yo accedí, y ella se volvió hacia la cadena y la siguió columpiando, mirando con paciencia cómo se mecía de un lado a otro hasta quedarse quieta, y entonces volvía a golpearla con el dedo. Yo quería que nos diéramos prisa en llegar al parque para comenzar a divertirnos. Tardé un buen rato en darme cuenta de que Isabella ya se lo estaba pasando well.
Today I woke up and, after washing my face, I looked quickly at the clock to see how long he had to meditate before eating (I got up at one of the later): I thought breakfast and do arm exercises too fast to allow more time for sitting. Then I realized how stupid I was being. Every moment is an opportunity to meditate, why not taking advantage?
