Ideally, this should have been two posts, but I couldn’t manage to write one yesterday. The reason is yesterday, I had to go out for a haircut, which obviously takes a lot of time. Plus my house-help decided to not show up. I also had workouts in the morning. By the time, I came home, I was super tired. I just had an early dinner & dozed off. I woke up around midnight & completed my meditation. So, I at least completed my meditation, even if it was in the middle of the night.
The meditation on day 16 was at a better time. I completed my meditation before 9 pm and had a restful sleep, so woke up well in time for my workout session at 6 am. Early in the morning, I walked to the gym. It takes about 15 min to do that. It’s not a pleasant walk as the area is a bit crowded & not very clean. But I like the cool morning air against my skin & the changing blue colors of the sky. That moment of watching the sky turn from the dark of night to the light of morning is my favorite time of the day.
While walking back from the gym, I walked to the beach for a minute to catch a glimpse of the sea. The way the sky and the ocean meet in the morning, melding into each other, with fishermen out in their boats & people walking on the beach is quite a relief from the busy streets of Mumbai.
These days it’s quite warm throughout the day, almost impossible to be out or sit without air-conditioning. So, it is good to be able to experience the cool morning breeze before getting into the hustle & bustle of the day.
I think I will now go and sit for my meditation
