Meditation in the morning. Allowing my body to slightly exaggerate my breath movements seems to be a good way of getting focused yet relaxed.

Visiting the Art of Being exhibition in the Dome late yesterday night, I was very moved by Eliza's secret garden: virtual monks and nuns filing under the archs in the silence. Isn't our 99 days an Himalayan's hermitage of some sorts? Loved Agatha's piece about an happy moment dancing with Wol as well as Wol's real life picture with bare feet, glasses, notebook and pen. #timestamp

Appreciative. The dome is indeed expressive and happy!

Learned a new breathing technique that feels like having a new toy... tapping into the natural pharmacy... also seem to have entered some kind of strong quietness today, Unintended, perhaps came with the breathing.

I am choosing some dates for an SL break, planning on going in just for a few commitments I've made and then approaching anew. That will be part of my exploration of rest, but then again what isn't. ;-) edited 19:10, 15 Feb 2012

Just walked around the dome, what fun !!
Very impressed with all the creativity and sensitivity.
This morning I was wondering whether to focus on one thing, for my practice.
I then decided to focus on zero things, just letting go, and yes, rest.

Grappling with 'the deep-seated assumption that we are in control of our lives (or should be), and the realization that everything is one choiceless happening.' (Joan Tollifson) Such an alien idea to most, and initially myself. Much more agreeable to think there is an 'I' that can change things independently of everything else.

Going from one thing to another. Last night I completely missed my session. But maybe if I'm not going anywhere else I can "do the needful", one thing at a time. That's the stopping, the big nowhere else to go container. I don't feel better or worse.

(must get my second life together and check out the dome...)
