Life is hard for me to look at sometimes. Working with this stone, like life, seems unavoidable. I have it here, and life is all around. I could stay in bed all day, or make up stories about how things are. I could stop this blog and my meditation, but I'm committed to it. Besides, I do plenty of other things and few of them bring as much satisfaction. I bring my body and mind to meditation. They often seem in some disagreeable state to being quiet. . . .
Ah... that's it; it is not discomfort with the stone at all; it is not the avoidance of the stone, but of facing that which I am. In other words, my only real issue is accepting ME, whereby I can concentrate. I have tried many ways to go around me, but none of them work well. I am not in a disagreeable state at all, I'm only in my state. I have no reason to disagree with what is really here.
