THURSDAY

I know it's Thursday because I hosted our weekly meditation group last night, Wednesday. Otherwise, there's no particular reason to know. This curious, seemingly endless string of days we're living through has us all befuddled, when it comes to discerning one day from the next. It's disorienting, of course, but perhaps the disorientation contains a seed of wisdom, an opportunity to learn the value of being in the present moment. And yet I struggle with that, even when I sit in meditation: the mind slips so easily back into the past, forward into the future. It is a challenge to hold it steady in the now.
