2027 is the year I’m stepping back from the internet. This year has been a major one of change even though it doesn’t really feel like it right now. Over the next couple of months I will be finishing up the decluttering, getting the hot water and both bathroom sinks fixed and addressing the blown lights in the house – currently it stands at 4. These are pot lights that appear to be hardwired into the house so there’s been a bit of back and forth with the landlord over those.
This has made me realise next year needs to be about me. I turn 60 in February and I have always seen that as the gateway to the senior years, an official ‘old age’ entry point if you like. I will be addressing physical health but also inner health. I want to take the year to develop a deeper understanding of several Japanese principles and a deeper exploration of buddhism. I’m still an atheist who does not believe in a soul, that’s not going to change and old school buddhism agrees with me.
If anyone is interested in learning more about buddhism, I highly recommend this youtube channel, they cover all the branches, with theravada being the old school one. https://www.youtube.com/@BuddhasWizdom
