Yishin:

I had a day of essay writing. I woke up early and did meditation on my bed. I saw myself slowly waking up. I hadn’t gone out for several days. I really enjoyed the moment I stepped out of my building. The sun was so lovely and shiny. Everything was so vivid. I am so glad that I can see clearly.

Just what I needed. A dinner with good friends!  Sometimes I feel as thought I am working too hard in one kind of direction.  I become so serious with myself, spending time meditating, contemplating, reflecting and so on.  Then just when things start feeling to tight, too serious, something fun and silly comes along, just like tonight.  I cooked a dinner with friends.  We made Vietnamese spring rolls!  All of the ingredients were on the table and we took turns rolling, eating, talking, joking and teasing with each other.  Exactly what the doctor ordered.  Out with ms. serious in with ms. giggles.
