2011.12.31 _ 12

Quietly on my cushion this morning, celebrating that I started sitting two months ago regularly again for half an hour each morning; really happy to have returned to integrate this in my daily life as firmly as tying shoelaces and brushing teeth.
Contemplating the good life of Irish fishermen. (^_^)

May rose petals of love fill your heart in 2012. A very Happy New Year to you! #timestamp edited 20:45, 31 Dec 2011

Practicing metta comes naturally when spending time in close quarters with extended family. Happy new year to us all.

WHAT a stunning picture... brilliant pink burst of hope and promise for 2012. Thank you Eden. :) Roses have been a strong theme over the last several weeks for me too... hmm ;-)

I'm spending this New Year's Eve day in a bookstore, lining up ducks and determined not to define the upcoming year but to lightly hold the frame of 'equanimity' and to continue Resting. I have noticed in my work and play habits a tendency to have overflowing days which seem to be productive, like weeks at once, and then underflowing days in which I completely lose sight of ever having done anything useful at all. Seeing these two together of course there is a sense of equalness and flow, trust. I'd like to keep remembering. :) edited 22:12, 31 Dec 2011

Just back from New Year's Eve party with friends. Had lovely time. Was thinking how alcohol sometimes seems necessary just to be able to 'let ourselves go.' Lovely kind friends I have :)

Relatively quiet evening, letting the old year go by. Posture holds inner space, out space. They hold posture. Posture helps: an emptying formality.
