day 21: bound lotus


bound lotus today felt quick & sweet. the left leg on top is easing into new flexibility. i expressed gratitude during the pose and i could feel that thankfulness recycle through my body & amplify. stronger & sturdier in the body, lighter & clearer in mood. everyday an increase.

the vittles were deeply healthy & delectable: bright sun & green drink with bee pollen/flax/hemp/nut butter, veggies with fresh avocado - all good fuel for the farm work today. i mounted the tractor, leveled all the tall weeds with grass & dust puffed in the air. said hello to the dogs, the goats, was accosted by an agitated duck & made friends with a turkey that survived Thanksgiving.

meditated while moving though activities: on the couch waiting, in the car, pulling plant roots from the earth, while eating, in moments alone. there was a heavy tug on me to be in this state of intense presence throughout the day. i reminded myself often to let go of thoughts creeping up from the past, a future that is gone. breathe & be here. and i would snap back to present moment, feel the cool on my skin and proceed from where i found myself standing. reminded. meditation as a moving practice.
