Day Eight

This anchor brings me back from all sorts of journeys this morning - out to hold sounds, temperature, body aches, restless thoughts. The stone is like a button that lets them be. There is a softening of body and thought. I am outside today and so there is much fresh sensation but broader, deeper, more unified. Concentration seems to unify, then put things in tune. I name both letting go of other sense contact and touching of the stone.
