Today on my meditation pad I spied my sparrow chirping at the window. I did not tharwt him with a knock, I kept on meditating and ignored him. Why is that? I usually partake and didn’t this time. I was still in my jammies as I call them on the blog and wasn’t jammed. My dream state wasn’t removed as I didn’t have too much to eat and was only sipping coffee and much milk, not tea as the weather hasn’t changed to summer. It is still fallish.
Why am I making a big deal about these details. All of them are morning to me and I relish them: the choice between milk in coffee and tea, the choice between a walk first and a meditation sit, the choice between breakfast first or last. I mention these things as they all are the first breathe of morning. How do you scale the mountain except in detail.
For instance, with coffee first, I am jittery at meditation and have to let loose and subside. With tea first, I let loose and don’t subside. With breakfast first, I control. I notice these things and wonder how they effect me. Do you notice them or are you in too much of a rush. I have leisure but I pay the price: I use to live in an expensive neighborhood and work eighty hours a week. Now a work twenty hours and live in a poorer neighborhood so I can have time to relish distinctions of mood, thought, and feeling. How do you register? I use to register movement only and it’s taken years to undo the rush and onslaught of things, feelings, and emotions. Do you take the time to undo the onslaught? If not what is the price? And how do you undo the onslaught? Tomorrow we’ll talk. Blue Jade Dragon In Full.
