This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for June 19, 2009:
Just me not paying attention, mind drifting, imagining stuff, making up scenarios that will never happen, making assumptions....
instead of paying attention to the fine details of what I am doing Right Now - washing the dishes, the bubbles, the warmth of the water, the smell of blue Dawn, the speck of egg still stuck to the frying pan, the bird singing outside. I'm squinting, how beautiful the colour of my Assam tea is in the clear glass cup.
Be here now. Be someplace else later.
Is that so complicated?”

Though only your skin, sinews, and bones remain, though your blood and flesh dry up and wither away, yet shall you meditate and not stir until you have attained full Enlightenment. But first, a little nosh.
