I'm not entirely sure what it is. It could be that they're badly written. (yep, that's it, blame the writing!)<br /><br />But some of them are a bit easier because they're shorter, like (invoking it once again) "Wherever You Go, There You Are." I can re-read the same two page passage 15 times until it actually sinks in.<br /><br />The one I read last night was about how meditation is the only intentional human undertaking which doesn't have a goal or a desired outcome. Amazing how I read this stuff at exactly the right time. Because meditation last night SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED. It was the first time I'd done it in a few days. (Pain, traveling, excuse, excuse, blah blah blah) I couldn't focus at all. I'm also feeling rather down on my craft (knitting) so I wonder if that had anything to do with it. Plus, you know, hormones. It's funny how amazingly AWARE of these things you get when you pay attention. Just for a moment.<br /><br />The hormones, while sucky, just are. Yeah, they bring up all kinds of nasty emotions and paranoia and depression and weird ass behavior, but honestly, the only way I've ever dealt with it, has been to step outside myself and watch it as it happens. (kinda like how I got through labor and birthing Georgia)<br /><br />But oh boy are the hormones easy to get sucked in to.<br /><br />Off to meditate.Virginia Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18211432405256644102noreply@blogger.com
