It is a lot of a work. there is 5-10 minutes meditation exercice every three pages in this one chapter on meditation. It is so informative this book, though. Very well written.I am hoping to retain quite a bit of this read and practice exercices as I go about reading onwards. It is a very detailed and thorough book for an introduction. 

A bird sings right now. The fan is on. The house is getting hot inside with all the windows open and doors too. The fan keeps me fresh and cool though. How I am happy but a bit lost today! It is the meditation practice , formal sitting, changing my mental state. I feel like I have so much to practice and I am not pracicing enough, fast enough! It sucks that i cant seem to quit smoking. Meditation, i would think, should have helped. 

Time to cook veggies to go with the deli chicken sweet chili taste of dinner.

UPDATE

We had sweet chili pre made chicken nuggets (pretty good) and brussel sprouts freshly made. Laurie Anderson's collaboration wit Kronos Quartet is playing. It is dark but pleasant and eerie a bit. It is called Landfall. Kronos quartet are a string quartet. Laurie composed the music. It is nice.
