Week 30 Day 5

Medi object choiceless awareness
Intention to observe raw sensation smoothie.

Morning all! I'm amidst a cacophony of noise as a group of secondary school children have boarded the train and just before a group of primary school children travelled one stop. No more metta practice, too noisy.

I attempted to observe the raw sensation smoothie as yesterday but did not seem as alert. However peripheral awareness was reasonable for most of the journey. My hayfever was set off by a man's cologne as he wafted on. The woman opposite me was applying makeup and drinking coffee from her travel mug now and then. But she was not as efficient as a woman yesterday who had a makeup counter in her handbag and her transformation was complete by the time I got off. Today's woman appeared to be less practised.

The atmosphere was warm and the train relatively quiet. In my smoothie there was a mix of announcements, lights flashing past my eyes, the secure sensation of me clutching my bag and the warm presence of a stripey woman next to me.

A connecting train had just left the platform so I continued my practice on the platform but was interrupted by a woman speaking into her phone...semmingly dictating. The next train came and so now I am in the midst of organised chaos.

Could it be Thursday? Wow have a great day! 🐽💜🐽
