I was reading this earlier.."“My arm,” “your arm,” “my head,” and “your head,” are conceptual ideas. The actual experience is of shapes, colors, movements and sensations appearing right here. No distance or separation at all. Right? "
So my arm moving and your arm moving ...all just movements of nature we have learned to put a possessive conceptual overlay on? No difference really..hmmm.

Perhaps shapes, colors, movements and sensations are still conceptual ideas, on a somewhat subtler level; and perhaps even the notion of any experience at all, harking back as it does to an experiencer is conceptual addition and addiction . . . . as for my morning practice, I thought about life as a retreat:
Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching time roll in
And I watch time roll away again
Sitting on the dock of Being
Watching the time roll away edited 01:49, 24 Feb 2012

Lingering at the morning transition
Lingering at the evening transition
In between, more transitions, occasional bowing

Late posting... came here at several points but felt unsure what to write.. just enjoying friendly company and shared intentions.
