My meditation
teacher has an alarming aptitude for explaining things clearly and
succinctly.
Seldom will a
class go by without him making an excellent point or analogy illustrating the
message he’s trying to get across. He makes you stop and think, which is great,
as this constant reiteration of what’s important is vital, as it can be easily
forgotten in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Far better to take stock
of where you’re at from time to time, than let your plans run away with you. He’s very wise,
that man.
I nearly didn’t
go to tonight’s lesson, as the weather was uninspiring, but I’m glad I did.
I missed the beginning, due to public transport, and had to leave before the
end as the class had overrun, but what I did
take part in was worth being brave enough to venture out of the house. The only
thing I didn’t appreciate was the journey there, as there were a handful of
teenagers on the bus, being low-level threatening and unpleasant. They gave me a great Quote of The Day though, which was said with real venom:
“College is
stupid”. I imagine they won’t be there very long.
