Springtime again!
Today is the day! It’s here again! Spring is in the air.
I can tell, y’see, because the central heating has kicked in, yet it’s very clearly not needed, yet there’s such freshness in the air that the heating feels really nice anyway without getting all stuffy.
I went for a meditate at the Sheffield Buddhist Centre today. We did the Metta Bhavana - incredibly powerful meditation that! Just before the new year, I started writing “Dan’s little self-help guide” which I was going to post here, but I never finished it. See, I was very much up then, and although I wouldn’t exactly say I’ve been down since, I’ve certainly lost some inertia this last month. This little half-hour of meditation brought me right back up there, slowed down my mind, reminded me to spare time for others, and made me happier and, ultimately, more effective (because less scatter-brained) as a result.
Memo to self: go to meditation every week. (Tomorrow night I’m hoping to go for a longer session).
