I sat in the back yard and meditated for ten minutes, or at least tried to. When I meditate, I try to clear my mind, listen to and observe nature. A calico cat came walking down the fence. She saw me, stopped, watched as I retrieved a Kleenex from a pocket, then delicately turned around on the narrow rail joining the picket boards together, then headed back from whence she came.
A finch flitted between the giant dandelions and ate seeds. Actually I believe these large weeds are sow thistle. The finches love them.
My daughter came out on the patio and asked me to look over her English homework: identifying prepositions. She had to circle as many as she could find on a page. I told her I was taught that a preposition was, “Everywhere a rabbit could run: over, under, beside, on….” I found a few more with her. Rabbits don’t really run “of,” however.
Today I also plan to run on the treadmill and update this website.
At the moment, I have ten minutes to get ready for work.
