Hugs ((((Aph))))

Today's Gratitude
to be able to sit quietly and watch the world slowly come to life.
There is in that a sense of peace, of joy
To know that
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven"

today may you all find peace and joy in the moments of our lives
for that is all we have, these moments in time

With regard to all dharmas as dreams

::: Inner walls crashing
::: A golden light full of warmth
::: Flooding the body

I decided to make things simpler and focus only on metta from now on. Its easier to focus on just one thing and do it more thoroughly, in a deeper way.
Metta was nice today - lets see how this week brings me closer to being a kinder and more caring person.

Meditated in the evening. Light and darkness is another thing that influences the mood of my meditation.

When I got into the meditation, paid attention to relaxing those parts of the body that get forgotten easily. Nose, ears, thumbs, soles of the feet. Breathe in, breathe out.

Sat with Eliza at the Karuna Metta pavilion today.

some days are easier than others, I suppose persistence is the key

This day is much worse than others no matter what lovely hugs I get. I apologize to all of you for this outpouring and hope I will find the skillful means to get through it. edited 04:53, 4 Feb 2013

agreed, this day was harder than most. The anxiously, nervousness, wondering beforehand for what? 20+ people in a room hoping and being let down. After all, it is just a game.
Couldn't stay for the full 2 hours of of doontube on the seasons.
Played along and tried unsuccessfully to learn some Warren Zevon.

Warren Zevon. A new language with an echo?

This day got better for which I give thanks.
