Intention to remain receptive

Morning all! Yawn! Today I am weary after doing a few long shifts to monitor work at the weekend.

My intention today was to remain receptive to any sensation that arises. I spent a few mins in metta for young Dean...hope he continues to fight!

During noting I watched the breath but my focus was on the sensation of coolness and then coldness on my face. It was very breezy and the doors were open a long time at stations. The Piccadilly line sounds were squeaking and rumbling with announcements. Interestingly the district line does not squeak but there is a constant whirring noise in the background. I had a few thoughts - one of that awful film Battleships with Rihanna...perhaps it was because I had heard one of her songs Black Widow on the radio before boarding the train.

I felt that my eyes were damp not because of sadness do to seeing that film but because of the wind in my eyes. The tears evaporated from from eyes with a cooling effect.

It's sunny today and I thought to keep my eyes open but there was too much to see so I shut my eyes and then didn't notice the light much except at the beginning.

Phew tired already and not even at work yet! May have to have a sneaky nap in bogs!

Have a great day and practice!
