It can be so simple sometimes. The last retreat I did in January, 09 was wonderful, easy. My mind slid into the groove and stayed there with ease.
Yesterday was the first day of another retreat and my mind last night was not a willing accomplice. It took me everywhere, following every thought down narrow passages, returning gamely to the breath for a moment then skittering off examing everything and anything other than the moment.
I'm grateful for the chance to sit again. To lay the foundation, to explore each mind moment that arises as I take a breath in and then follow that breath out.
