Reflected

The Way Home

I am settling into my new life in Eugene. 

I have goals which keep me busy morning, noon, and night. 

I meditate at the Eugene Zendo. Wednesday I woke at 4:30am and walked a mile to the Zendo for 5:00am zazen. 

In the afternoon I was fatigued and fell asleep in a chair while reading. 

I skipped Thursday's zazen but awoke today at 4:15am and meditated ninety minutes. The session ends at 6:30am, sunrise, so the walk home can be enchanting. I brought my camera and made a few pictures. The morning was cold and my feet went numb. 

When I returned home I took a hot shower and ate a breakfast of sushi, yogurt, and tea. 

I have been spending my afternoons walking, running, and exercising. This week my energy has been low.

In the evenings I read and play guitar.
