Day One Hundred and Forty Four

Exploring contact brings it up out of the relative sphere of something that we are getting or not getting, into a more objective one, of looking at the process. And yet it is not theoretical because I am really touching; well, more or less really. I touch more fully when I work with kindly but firmly with hindrances. Desire and aversion, tiredness, restlessness and doubt all define me. When really touching the stone, I do not want it, I do not want it to go away, it is calming and invigorating, and it speaks of what is true.
