Medi object - choiceless
Intention: watching the world go by!
Good
afternoon! Today's tube practice was broken into two parts (or may be
several) as the District line was delayed. Even when I stepped back on
the Piccadilly line and went a few stops on, the connecting train was
still 7 minutes behind. Harumph.
Anyhoo, I started so I
decided to soldier on. First leg was the usual noisy bumpy hearing
feeling sensations of the tube plus the trying to sense the breathing.
Spring has sprung so the air was not so harsh so I could feel balmy air
on my face.
[Temporary pause whilst getting back on train, then walking to next platform]
Sat
on the platform to meditate! Busy, noisy fascinating. I heard the train
announcements and the hustle and bustle of people. I watched as the
first packed train came into the station and decided to continue until
the next train came along which was alas in 30 seconds. I got a seat(!)
immediately and continued my practice. Breathing, announcements, a
feeling of urgency (as I was late), thoughts about thoughts. Thoughts
about how to stop biting nails...It appears that when you are travelling
you can sit and close your eyes and no one bothers you! However, if I
were to do that at my desk...well...umm. Or in the kitchen...Weirdo!
I
have decided to do some walking tonight, so I will so some walking
meditation, the weather is cool but not unbearable...Ok need to go and
get anti-nail biting kit from Boots (nail clippers, hand cream).
Hasta la próxima!
