Elephant

It has been 26 days since my last post and my blog is metamorphosing into a dearly loved friend who I think about, very briefly, every day and then miss out on phoning or contacting. The illuminating thoughts that flicker into my consciousness, that would flow very nicely into a blog, slip away as easily. There is a marvellous meditation exercise : Tonglen - touch and let go - which encourages you the meditator to notice the thought(s) that slip in and out of your mind and to almost greet them and acknowledge them in a light and gentle way, an allowing sort of way, to quote Pooh bear and then allow the thought to slip away or dance away or fade away. And this seemingly is what is happening with me and my shadow, I mean my blog.
