A place to just touch. Touching is an exercise in alternately looking at what is blocking touching and looking at touching by letting go of the blocks. New blocks, things to get pulled by in sense and thought, arise constantly. But the stone becomes interesting and a place to examine feeling.
Feeling the stone is pleasant, unpleasant and neutral, but that seems to be only a layer above the self, above the concept of me and mine. Without me and mine, I'm sure there is no particular difference in feeling, or I should say no binding difference. In other words, I experience these feelings but in a more raw form, they are not experienced as held and therefore have no hold. No hold feels scary at first, but then it is more like a way for the mind to open up, to break the chains of dream, to be still here. My what goes by!!
