Thanks!
I've sat in Larry...Nicely said, Dave. Thanks!<br /><br />I've sat in Larry Rosenberg's mediation hall during a rare opportunity to sit for a day and found myself LONGING to get the hell outta there and drive down to the Kendall Square Cinema to grab a laaahge popcorn and a flick. So much easier to sit mezmerized in the dark with those waking dreams than to sit and try to pay attention to the breath.<br /><br />Which brings up an essential point---why must we now CULTIVATE this attention? There is something in the "silence" of wilderness that begs full attention, as on your trip. But here...attention becomes an increasingly scattered and shattered thing. Just shutting things OFF is now a spiritual act. Who follows the edict--"when driving, only drive."? EVERYTHING begs full attention at once.<br /><br />Well, whatever the reason, there it is. So...we continue.Geoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00622804198121789998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990993458493326986.post-6250391702722729722009-09-13T15:15:38.766-04:002009-09-13T15:15:38.766-04:00Thanks for your comments, folks!Thanks for your comments, folks!David Healdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03155225872953006852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7990993458493326986.post-78587684637775227032009-09-13T09:15:40.370-04:002009-09-13T09:15:40.370-04:00Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this. ...Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this.
