10 Jul. How many meditation sessions can you miss in one day?

Last night’s siting was amazing. Literally nothing happened.

I should have been exhausted by the time I got to sit. I spent nearly 3 hours driving. I traveled to Wicklow Mountains where I visited the Indian Sculpture Park (can you imagine? In the middle of Irish fields and hills…) and Glendalough where I enjoyed unplanned 3 hours walk (13 km/8 miles, including climbing steep granite hills) that almost killed me. Of course, I didn’t bring any food or water with me. (I’m not an envious person, but how I envied the tourists casually and ungratefully munching on gummy bears!)

I missed 3 meditation sessions yesterday: my morning one, and 2 in Dublin (with Shambhala and Zen groups). I must go there next weekend. But I did sit before going to bed. I didn’t feel like sitting. I didn’t expect it to be any good. But it turned out very well. Don’t expect. Perhaps that’s the key to the good meditation?
