day 37: Baddha Padmasana



the morning was cocoon, like solo piano music - songs spreading in space, vibrating the corners with a tone of sad, upliftment & fresh air simultaneously. space between me & all other things. involved yet distant, seeing everything as if looking out through a periscope to the world beyond my skin.

planted onions in the afternoon in 3 huge barrels & pea plants to last through winter. spent time with a small child who only spoke Spanish.; playing with the animals & hula hoops required little use of language - yelping sounds & smiles sufficed. had a beautiful meal of "fancy burrito": cheese, artichoke hearts, roasted red pepper, arugula rolled up in tortilla.

Sagittarius Ball - hyper fun!!! my mode switched from inward to outward. brought a bag of give-a-ways, entertained by the objects i came to know so well beginning a new life of use. a request to put on a trench coat naked beneath & flash dance - who else but me could respond? drumming & singing & eating & faces of those i haven't seen & new faces & laying down & oracles & talking & cleaning up & going home in the cool morning so close to solstice.

the meditation practice is almost over, 3 more days to 40. it has been a daily friend - always there, comfortable, steady. i am excited to complete!
