A DAY OF LIVING

Morning and I make an appointment for another allergy test, then a long talk with a friend having teeth work done.  Elders commiserating.  Face book and emails, breakfast, meditation, 'Democracy Now' catching up on the news (see LINK), then a trip to the library where another elder, disturbed to distraction over the RNC and her memories of Hitler, needed to talk. Another commiseration session.

4PM
Restorative Nap

5PM
LOUD
In front of the building where workers are digging out more dirt from the building next door under construction.

7 PM
SILENCE
Blue-sky moment looking out the window
at the Zendo after sitting

CURIOSITY
What is 'The Cell' at 336 West 23rd Street?
(see LINK)
 Continued walking West
(I wish I lived here)

8PM
 SERENDIPITY
While waiting for the bus, a cheery moment
'Mother Pigeon' with 'Olivia'
(see LINK)

9PM
RAT-A-TAT-TAT
The drills are digging holes on the corner again
Still working near midnight
LOUD
 Con Edison advertisement and Warning
'get the CE text Ap before it's too late'

SLOW WALK
Once around Gramercy Park
following a slow walking old dog
Good Night Good Night
("parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say good night 'till it be morrow.")

The Cell
Mother Pigeon

A lot goes on in a day of living...how could we not need to talk with all the craziness. I am disappointed yet hopeful that it's all part of the process to become more conscious. Have a wonderful weekend, Michelle. xoxoxo
