Summer Meditation Challenge! (Day 14)
Today we planted watermelons; not from seeds, but rather from plants. For two hours we were mindfully engaged in bed preparation, tilling, bed shaping, planting, mulching, and watering. Perhaps that was why I was tired as I sat a few minutes ago, just prior to bedtime. My old friends sloth and torpor dropped by. I must say, however, that the instructions for following the breath (that I've taken to heart and implemented) do provide a stronger ground of focus that I might have otherwise brought to a late night, drowsy sit.
