It's good to hear, Brenda, that some space appeared, albeit a small one. There's nothing more smothering than the feeling of "no room"!
I spend yesterday largely away from both my computer & cushion, but I still managed to do walking-with-dog meditation. Today I'm staying close to home doing some online-teaching work, so I hope to spend some time on my cushion.
When I went to post the day today, I realized that I'd posted Day Eighty-Six the last time around: deja vu all over again! :-)
Lorianne, it's Summertime, yes, let's "spend" more time away from our computers and cusions! That was a good slip...
There's a Linden tree, I will post about it sometime, that, oh it's like mantra, when I walk under its branches I feel an extraordinary sense of peace, love, harmony, like I'm stepping into another current, forcefield, and each time I come out more purified, if you know what I mean by mantra doing that. Cleared back to a more pristine vision of the beauty of life. I've taken my daughter by this tree and she's not remarked on anything (did I tell her? She's 15, nah). It's on someone's front yard, so I can't loiter :) though I've stood there for as long as I can reasonably with my dog trying to figure out what it is that happens when I walk by that tree.
Anyway, we're developing a relationship... :)
Each day I walk by and get a Linden tree blessing and offer a person blessing back!
Tell me I'm slightly off my rocker but in a good way -! :)
(I had a 7 year relationship with the lake at our cottage ~we talked a huge amount, I could see the 'aura' of the lake, very beautiful~ and was really sad when we sold it... :)
Nothing is ever smooth. One brother can't make it until next week, so we're making moving the 17th, if the storage company will let me reserve the space for a small deposit until then. And by then anything might have happened. Life is topsy turvy; the best way for it to be.
Off to meditate! And to let "home" be the hallowed silent sound...
preparing for a very difficult situation next week. let's say it's the equivalent to she slept with the conductor and now she's playing principal cello. I am not going to dwell and rant because that only gives fuel to my anger. I had one big rant yesterday to a friend. It should be enough. Too much already perhaps....? So instead i shall say I sat and observed how puffed up with indignance I am already getting. I could feel it in my body as soon as I sat. So it's back to square one, and if peace doesn't start here where does it start?

Uh, that should have been, "I *spent* yesterday largely away from both my computer & cushion." I guess I need to beef up my proofreading skills! :-)
