Tonight my brain is addled because I have a cold. I find myself forgetful with difficulty concentrating. I find myself struggling with this body state when I need sleep. Although perhaps I treat sleep as 'getting away' from the cold.
I touch the stone and feel that the aches and runny nose are not all of me. It is curious that I gain some distance from them and yet I feel closer to them. I use concentration to help with that. Closer in the sense of investigation. I am curious about this state. After a few moments, it changes from a kind of attack to a sense of relief. Much of the bother, if not all, of this cold has been me tightening up around it. Running away is tightening up also. Acceptance seems available right with anything at any time.
I go to rest.
