That nagging story repeats in my mind; about being in a body, and living on a planet somewhere...

Try this on your next airplane trip: arrive at the airport very early so there is no rush, feel the release as you let go of your bag during check in, note the level of attention required of the employees working security, eat and drink something, go to the bathroom, sit calmly at the gate even after your flight is called, wait to board with the last group of passengers, allow your carry on to be checked so others can have room in the overhead bins, give up your aisle seat for a middle seat so a family can be together, just sit quietly for the takeoff, don't turn on a screen of any kind, make a drawing or two, meditate, just sit, note your sensations during landing, be amongst the last to exit the plane, pick up your bags from baggage claim at the same time as everyone else.

I have been traveling and teaching drawing and meditation to a wide variety of people and getting very positive feedback. We start by just making marks, then circle arrows, then drawing point to point, and what happens is similar to practicing simple meditation instructions such as 'follow your breath', the space around deliberate, mindful drawing soon opens.

A crackling shortcut across the cycle appears, time accelerates and new points of view abound.

The only words that come to mind from looking at the current persistent run of semi-circular shapes are 'reef' and 'atoll'. A toll? What can my non-verbal brain be talking about?

Accumulating all month in tiny increments, presenting as minor irritations, random angry thoughts, and anxiety, having no shame about interrupting my daily practices, challenging what I believed myself to be, and forcing me to see how I wasn't all that I thought I was, the demons had a party with my emotions today and even though my temper suffered and my pride deflated I am still here and one iota more aware for having watched it all happen.
