Long Days

Days have been moving slowly. Early rise, blogs and emails on the library's free wireless, lunch at Whole Foods, reading in the park. Today I had sushi from the mall, and by the time the meal ended I realized I had just eaten sushi from the mall. In the park, I committed to each chapter before starting it. Without that, my mind would wonder and I would end up reading the same words over and over. I have had a lapse in my regular meditation, but I am still trying to keep some level of mental discipline. My only complaint of the day was that the sun would peek through the shade of the trees. So once in a while, I had to shift my position to keep reading. When your only complaint of the day is the movement of the sun, life is pretty good.
