Here lately I have been practicing zazen twice daily in sessions ranging from half an hour to a few hours long.

With the beefed up routine and the additional group practice, a subtle change in attitude is taking place. I find it a little easier to accept daily tragedies like falling in a tree or deadline stresses at the office in healthier ways.

My mental life is becoming just a little more calm, just a little more quiet.

I've been stretching more to decrease discomfort while sitting.

Not the most fascinating blog entry ever, I know. But some times that's a good sign.
