2011.12.11 _ -8

To fit the meditation in my day, I have to actively look for opportunities to meditate. Whether I'm in or out a 99 days period doesn't change that. The earlier in day, the easier, although getting up early to meditate is something I am not willing to do on a regular basis.

Standing meditation in the early afternoon.

Quiet sit this morning, half an hour, very peaceful. Then I took a train from Amsterdam to Leiden, where I met Wester in RL. Small world in the minus number days bardo. :-)

55 breaths taken during conversations with a visitor today, stepping back, letting go into the breathing flow rather than getting carried away too far into 'political' trains of debate. :)

Took opportunity to walk in the cold clarity today, after some days' absence. Standing meditation on special spot hill; bits of echos of Wester standing.
