Day 9 Becoming ready to meditate

Organization of meditation. Set up comfortable seat. Listen to meditation instructions. (Shinzen Young's Vipassana) Start to become ready. Re-set seat. Listen. Set timer. Listen. Stop instructions. Meditate.

Somehow, it is this 'becoming ready' that is most important. It is like seeing the dock thru the trees, you are in shadow, the dock is in light. Sunlight, reflected light from the water. Keep walking, stepping out of the trees, you are in light. No longer walking on dirt and bits of forest, the path is clearer, drier. Stepping on to the dock, smooth wood, redolent of warm sunlight. Walking to the edge. Standing on the edge of the dock. Poised. And then you are in it.

What ever it is.
