They found something to eat. O! Found a place to rest. O! More wheels to fly, back to routine. They, and the solitary birds, have their default routines.<\/p>\n<p>I'm thinking... Does a stork have to want to come back to Lithuania so badly to mate, raise children, eat 156 mice and 14 frogs, and then fly back to do its\u00a0<b>its meaning<\/b>? Do the storks just get it by accident?

Oh, well, if...<\/p>\n<p><b>...The more you look at your emptiness, the more it says.\u00a0<\/b>Promises. Whispers. Can, can, can, can. Want, want, want. Need, need, need. Must, must, must.

The reason why we have so much.<\/p>\n<p>...But really?<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the reason for all this is that someone had a routine and lived in waves? <strong>Been to Vipassana?<\/strong> Was he present in the moment, sincerely, and not looking for something more, but just doing what his routine told him to do in that moment?<\/p>\n<p>I don't know how much I need to force myself to do something, either. Does it just have to happen on its own? Or does it have to be forced through force, spirit, discipline, morality?<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?<\/p>\n<div id=\"parasas\" class=\"\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 900 189\" width=\"200\">\n        <path class=\"d-1\" d=\"M67 50L5 172\"\/>\n        <path class=\"d-2\" d=\"M19 152c7 8 30 33 59 32 41-1 76-46 80-100 2-22-6-77-42-79C61 2-1 54 46 76\"\/>\n        <path class=\"a\" d=\"M204 126.9c1.4-6-1-23.7-8.8-23.3-33.2 1-44 50-31 54 11 3 22-10 36-25 2-3 14 9 25 10\"\/>\n        <path class=\"nie\" d=\"M211 157c45-44 65-58 70-54 6 5-16 42-12 45 6 4 47-55 57-49 7 4-7 34 4 47 8 11 20 7 28 1 18-14 28-28 27-22s-5 38 46 16c21-9 22-29 13-36-3-2-16 6-16 16-1 18 14 29 37 28\"\/>\n        <path class=\"t-1\" d=\"M387 80a1 1 0 1 0 2 0 1 1 0 1 0-2 0\"\/>\n        <path class=\"liu\" d=\"M444 184C549 88 546 23 536 23c-19 0-57 74-57 122 0 4 5 13 13 16 5 3 11 2 16 1 6-1 11-6 17-10l39-32c0 6-2 8-3 14-2 7-2 10 1 14l5 4c6 3 14 1 20-1 17-7 26-19 44-29 3-1 8-4 12-2l5 6c4 11 1 16 4 22s13 10 20 8 12-9 13-14l4-13 3-5 6-4 13-5c3-1 6-3 10-8\"\/>\n        <path class=\"t-2\" d=\"M576 85a1 1 0 1 0 2 0 1 1 0 1 0-2 0\"\/>\n        <path class=\"s-1\" d=\"M720 142c8 2 27 3 35-3 6-4-18-36-22-32-3 4-6 19-30 65\"\/>\n        <path class=\"s-2\" d=\"M756 140c4-1 9-4 12-8\"\/><\/svg>\n    <\/div>\n    <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/wp-content\/themes\/debesyla-uzrasai-child\/inc\/img\/fallback-parasas.png\" alt=\"Daniel\" style=\"top: -2.5em; position: relative;\"><\/noscript>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was recently <a href=\"https:\/\/debesyla.lt\/uzrasai\/en\/vipasanos-meditacijos-stovykla\/\">Vipassana in meditation training<\/a>.
