Yesterday was a perfect day. Meditation was transformative - bliss.
Today discomfort, distraction and yet I resign to that being the way. Meditation is not always serenity. It's key to understanding acceptance and compassion. I focus on the winds chimes outside the window and absorb their sound.
So after a difficult meditation I try to accept this and go on with my day. Everything is fine.
Work accomplished, sun is shining.
Then the fever and dizziness set in. The ache creeps into back and head. What is this? I've had a flu shot.
So I cancel everything for the afternoon and settle into the couch to sleep with the dog. The wind chimes are all I hear besides the dog's steady heartbeat. No TV, no news, no FB.
Rest and quiet can cure many things. The anxiety and tension of worrying all the time take their toll.
Tomorrow is another chance.
