Meditating the other day, I noticed, though tried not to think about, the fact that the in the whirlwind of thoughts that came up, much of it was from media: things I've seen on television, radio, websites. After that came pieces of conversations. Bodily needs only came up after I'd been sitting a while: hungry, need to pee, leg's falling asleep.
What didn't come up? Beethoven. Poetry, nature, quiet moments. I guessed that it's always like that - I just don't pay attention. So today I start meditating and what pops into my head first? Wavy branches dancing in the wind, one of the bare trees in the cemetery, the texture of bark. Clever, clever subconscious, always listening.
