From the library, I borrowed Jon Kabat-Zinn's book, Mindfulness for Beginners (audio version). I was staying with friend Kate, and it was cold and dreary outside. November in Missouri. I was also committed to getting in 10k steps each day, as clocked in my Fitbit.
Kate has a small attached garage. So I walked 'round and 'round and 'round the inside perimeter of her garage, a thousand steps at a time, while listening to Mindfulness for Beginners. No other library patron waited to borrow the audiobook, so for awhile I simply renewed it. Twice, maybe three times. Because once I finished it, I started over from the beginning. It was that good. Listening to the book was the meditation.
As part of my commitment to meditation this year, I have now bought and downloaded my very own copy of the audiobook.
Into action. Remembering my goals: Serenity in the moment. To lay peaceably, like a lilypad, on the surface of a still lagoon.
