Day 17

I find myself spending more and more time outside. I went to a beach sit early in the morning and later that afternoon I went to a park for a couple of hours. The more time I spend in nature, the more I'm drawn to keep coming back to it. I suppose it's no surprise because we are nature being drawn to itself. When I get caught up in the "unnatural" problems that's when I forget.

The Practice

Meditation at the beach - 45 minutes

Reflection

The beach sit actually lasted an hour, but I came late. It's interesting to observe how I can't sit for more than half an hour at a time when I'm home, but in nature or around other people, time seems to warp.

The sound of the waves soothes the mind to an unbelievable degree. It's the whole thing. It's the breeze of the ocean, it's the smell, it's the sound, it's the sand under the body that molds around it. We are meant to enjoy the earth by sitting on it. By simply sitting, we are living to the fullest already.
