Sat today. A hazard of becoming a blogger is that I now have to contend with thoughts of posts I am planning to write intruding into meditation!!
Really hope you won't get discouraged and stop posting the dates if we have periods where there are fewer comments, Dale? It is such a help having this blog.
today i did what i have been meaning to do for an age, and i did a guided breath insight meditation with sharan salzburg and joseph goldstein. I've got to start somewhere and although I have meditated without help it, and this blog, give me a structure to lean into. This cd has been with me on tour lodged in my ipod for the last five months! Knowing i'm off again in two weeks (before the 100 are up), and knowing i won't be able to take the peace of my beloved vines and the mountain with me, and above all your support enabled me to finally sit with it, so thank you.
meanwhile feelings arose of shame about admitting to having a hangover to all you other delicious sentient beings...
What, do you think we're all living on air and a daily sip of green tea? :-)
I admire you very much for working on this without having a non-virtual community to help. I've mentioned the weekends being hard -- that's partly because of the shift in routine but largely because the lift I get every
Sunday evening by meditating in a group & listening to teachings at the sangha is fading.
Mary, not to worry. I'll keep posting the dates, I promise.

Sat ten muzzy minutes last night, just before sleep.
