Welcome in…
Thoughts, sensations, perceptions — phenomena.
Breathe. Notice. Rest in awareness…
Open, aware, present… whatever is happening… nothing excluded… (here/now/this…)
Being is enough…
An unconditional ‘yes’ to the fact of experiencing at all.
Am I going to start including the above in all of these that may eventually be typed and posted?
I could — like a welcoming in…
This simple clump of words that I start (almost) every day with…
Is that intimate?
It feels it…
I remembered this morning wondering yesterday morning why I seem to consistently chug the morning powdered greens (multivitamin) drink.
I mean it’s no daiquiri (originally spelled ‘daquery’ because I honestly had no idea) or milkshake, but it’s alright, like a mildly sweet, slightly grainy sort of cool tea, and I’m in no hurry to go anywhere or get anything done right this second, and yet, pretty much every morning, I’m throwin’ it back like I’m in a high school (questioning including this, but that’s when I remember doing most of it) beer-chugging competition.
The thought “today I’ll pay attention” arose, followed by “do I even know how this habit developed? Not really…”
It was later (more recently) considered a possibility that at some point said (the overall) morning routine may have been casually rushed — sleeping until the absolute last minute before getting up for work while still maintaining a relative certainty that there will be time for everything…
And perhaps also sometimes just being in an unconscious yet excited hurry to get to the part of the morning with the coffee or the tea (sitting unsipped thus far, just over to the left) and the sitting and this writing…
But today, I was gonna pay attention…
Pretty sure I chugged it again…
Honestly not sure (though?)…
(I was) thinking about feeding birds…
