Today it gently rained nonstop. The moss is happy and green. I would have pulled weeds, but I didn't want to be in the rain today. Sometimes I do.
Walking meditation for me today was cleaning the kitchen. I mean... I cleaned under the stove, put away clean pots and pans sitting out for days which requires organization.... cleaned floors and counters which means things get cleaned deep into corners and rinsed.
I and clean fridge out tomorrow.... Thursday is trash day. Groceries coming Friday.... or so I think. T appointment and I should have written down what I wanted to talk about bc there was something... and now I'm drawing a blank.
I think my bra is too tight to think clearly.
Yup, that was it. I remember now.

Lol, Lighter, I am bra free while on lockdown and wonder if I will be able to get back in to one when it's all over! I find I can only wear either boots or flip flops on my feet these days as it's been so long since I wore shoes and I wonder if the same will happen with bras!
Yes, much spring cleaning and reorganising will be done in many homes, I think, my place already feels cleaner and less cluttered just because we don't have the constant in and out going on that we usually would. Having time and headspace to think is helping with that as well. I hope the session with T is good. Write it down quickly in case you forget it again! Lol xx

Appointment with T today a good one.
It's difficult to widen one's gaze to the point of BEING the sky watching clouds go by.
It comes and goes. Main message....
just let the clouds be.....
just let it be.
Breathe.
The mind wants to work on those things and will IF we allow it..
like a self-cleaning oven....
the clouds will turn to mist and be gone.
Refusing to give our attention to the worrisome things means we free our minds up to focus on being present....breathing... allowing the brain to function as it was meant to.
Looking down on the world and what we label as good and bad gives us the ability to just notice them without judgment, which is really really REALLY hard sometimes for me.
I understand latching onto the negative/evil/bad stories means we're less capable of responding. This I understand. This makes sense.
The world will always have light and dark. There can be no other way. Accepting that, accepting we can't control or change it..... learning to change the way we see it is all we can do and that brings more peace and happiness in our consciousness. More peace and happiness in one person's consciousness is a part of everything... we aren't separate.
It's not easy to keep this in focus but...
all we can do is work on ourselves and internal worlds.
I asked about the Tibetan idea of the afterlife and there was much about hot boiling caldrons of oil, and of being beaten BEFORE suffering the hot cauldron of oil, and many many levels of torment and punishment that did go on. At some point we talked about the hells on earth. I'm still not clear on the original question and answers but am positive the amazing feeling of dropping into awareness..... of the joy and smiles it brings to my face, is something I wish to expand on and cultivate, particularly during this time.
I can do THAT.
I have a couple of books I plan to get to... Budhha brain being one.
T saw the yard and what I work on.... she didn't realize the yard is all moss, every inch of it. One of my favorite things in the yard is cleaning up edges and borders. Today is sunny and mild and breezy and THAT's what I'm going to do for a couple hours..... I consider it a treat.
