I feel I've been doing this backward. I'm stealing a chapter title from a Piers Anthony book to express this. I'm going to start blogging in the morning. I will tap dance a little right now, but this one is going to be short. I'll see you all in the morning. How will I have time? By not lying in bed and hitting the snooze alarm. That's how.

Tonight Henry reminded me that unfocused attention and avoidance of physical discomfort or pain are always simultaneous. This means if I find myself drifting off into a crowded room of ideas, it's best to ask myself: where does my body feel discomfort? This seems like some solid erosion of the mind/body distinction. I like it. It's good for me; it's where I need to go. I tried this during my 3rd sitting period tonight, after the dokusan, and it seemed to work - although it did result in more eye confusion and a small assortment of nervous ticks. I'd like to get around that. How? Just let the flood of feeling rise, rise, rise.

Ok, that will be all for tonight. Take care, all, and let's start a habit of saying Good Morning.
