i can't stop marveling at this steady and sweet rhythm generated by the natural, easy breath. it harmonizes with the heatbeat beautifully. the quiet and clear mind pulses gently pumping an exquisite sensation of security through the entire being. the breath contains the sound and movement of the ocean. the incomings and outgoings generate waves washing through the body and mind, clearing out all that i'm no longer holding on to. once, i watched a swami responding to the repeated burning question from a seeker-student about how to let go because it seemed such a daunting task. the swami held up a cushion with a tight clench and then opened the hand wide. the cushion fell from the grasp. the swami said, just like this.
anyhow, i also realize why i so enjoyed the flurry of shipping and handling activity yesterday. i took the time and attention to set up a rhythm, a sequence. as i moved along from task to task i experienced this steady tempo of the outer activity blending into a resonance with the breath. i was filled with harmony. fulfilling the book orders became meditation in action. i love it.
