Sat this morning, taking sound as my object, always a treat when the spatter patter and trickle of rain is on the windows & the pavement & the gutters outside.
Not sure why I didn't post yesterday. Sat yesterday and this morning - about 10 mins each day. I am trying to get my pre-cold focus back - it seems to have gone AWOL. It may be too that the fact that I am gearing myself up for another round of job searching is making me more restless than usual.
Plus, feeling victimised by Blogger, of course. :-)
Nonetheless, I wouldn't dream at the moment of not sitting, which is a gift I think.
Tonight I sat for an unmeasured amount of time: whatever "felt right." I'm feeling an inner need to wean myself from clocks & counting, just sitting until I feel "finished," however long that is.
During tonight's sitting I experienced an overwhelming sense of gratitude: not "thankfulness" for any specific thing, just a general sense of gratitude for having a breathing body to return to moment by moment.
It felt closely akin to prayer, this spot of contentment...an interesting development, actually, since I come to meditation from a prayer-ful perspective.

Still here. Still sitting.
Love to all of you.

Sat for 5 minutes today at noon. Better than nothing?
My first word verification of the morning was ftbooo!
Wow! Happy Halloween!
