Meditated mid-morning. Standing meditation, with a light touch. Focus on the breath and let it do what it does to my body and mind. Felt very grateful for all there is.

Moon and Sun hold all dreams of heartbreak. Hospice worker brings her dog, who cannot walk, and offers to place the dog on the body of people laying in bed. Yes, seems generally to be the answer. The happy dog licks the happy person.. the dog's owner.. happy. Everyone happy. A dog body on ones body. No one able to move. Everybody happy. All moved. Sun and Moon dancing.

Thank you, Eden, for sharing your great video! I had to smile at the list of needed items, including the cheese grater (râpe à fromage :-). And thank you, Bruce, for the many suggestions, including resting in awareness. After watching Eden's video I did just that (while watching images of grated cheese descending on oven dishes :-)

Warmth and light at work. Found I've been sleeping 8-10 hours at night when the temperature is below 55 and there's no distractions at night.... like light :)

Tomorrow is my first class in two weeks... been nice practicing, not loosing my pace in practicing... thank you Wol!! Looking forward to iChing session with Pila tomorrow.

On saturday after less than regular iChing readings, I did a reading to pass the time at the begining of a snowstorm, now on third day of no power (it finally returned today), The reading I threw was
29 - Darkness Darkness. Although not directly related to the darkness I have been experiencing for the last two nights, it is ironic non-the-less in its timing

Fullness, silliness, deep pauses throughout in a sense of free range time.

Recliner sit concurrent with two-hour Original Face group session today. My doctor called mid-way through the session with bad news from a blood test done three days ago. ASAP visit to urologist is now scheduled for Wednesday. The doc's calling me during meditation was "perfect timing" - catching me when I was clear and stable enough to receive what he had to say.
