Day One Hundred and Ten

Worries hover over quiet practice and stand in the way. But this is practice, to let them be for a moment. That does not mean going away from them. Sometimes, I can push through them to concentration, and other times I let them fade like restlessness or doubt. Everything fades, but that isn't a trap, that's a doorway I think. Maybe everything fades except awareness.

The Buddha practiced many years. His concentration was very strong. Most of the time, I believe that I prop myself up in practice. I don't worry about that too much, though. It will fade with awareness.
