So we've started going out into the backyard, looking for a place, each of us, that we will go to at different times of the day, and we will sit. No cell phones or video games, no legos, no neigh neigh. To be quiet is a rare thing because I'm pretty much a loud mouth and not at all a loner. It's time to learn to really meditate. To learn to quiet my voice. What better way to learn than from my son, who is, and always was, truly connected to our backyard. He can be out there in his own space just walking around, completely unaware of me.
The first morning we went out to sit in our "sit spots," he asked me, why aren't you on the ground? I was sitting on a log. I said, because i don't want to get all dirty. He laughed at me.
I have the feeling that my sit spot will quietly, unobtrusively change my life.
