I’ve decided to focus on the really small moments of life that bring joy. Not the Facebook/Instagram moments, not the weddings and graduations and landing the big job moments. The really small barely noticed moments that make taking the next breath worthwhile.

My local meditation club is up and running. Sort of in beta test mode with just a handful of us. But meetings planned through the end of the year, making our existence known more widely, and then to review and revise.

@BhikkhuBeckett yup, sorry about that. Storage issues again. I'm going to upgrade that over the weekend to accommodate Mastodon and it's data hoarding ways.

Breathing in, I know I am alive.

Breathing out, I’m glad to be alive.

"Truth needs no label: it is neither Buddhist, Christian, Hindu nor Moslem. It is not the monopoly of anybody. Sectarian labels are a hindrance to the independent understanding of Truth, and they produce harmful prejudices in people's minds. " - Ven. Walpola Rahula

WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING PEOPLE? What's happening in your practice?

I've tried concentration practice for 20 minutes sits with a lit candle as a focus object. Interesting. Last night I sat for 30 minutes of body scan guided by a Michael W. Taft recording.
