9/29/09, 26 + 4, to skip meditation or not to skip?

i was so very tempted to skip meditation today and there were a lot of good reasons for it: went to bed late, i need to get enough sleep to take care of a big deadline today, blah blah blah. and yet i could feel something off was lurking within, subtle, kind of like looking at a storm rolling in from the horizon. in the end, with hubby's nudging, o, you need to meditate, you don't need to skip it, you'll get the thing done, i meditated a shorter session, a lot shorter than i would like, but then, hey, something is better than nothing. after a while i clearly sensed a subtle shift within. the tiny sense of off-ness, jittery, murkiness dissipated. very softly and quietly it went away. what remains is a vibrant calm and clarity. now i'm ready for whatever is in front of me. no sooner nor later than i realized that the timer went off.
