Touching the stone and noticing feeling. Noticing that pleasant feelings come in many varieties and each one has a because: Tickling when it is dry because of the surprise, moving from warm to cool or cool to warm because of the movement away from unpleasant, soft because being perhaps some biological sense of safety, grainy and therefore of interest, I let those go and know that at their root, most feelings are just biologically helpful or hurtful, and from that springs pleasant and unpleasant. I am grateful for the opportunity to explore the chain of causes with a body that is well enough to pay attention.
Preparing to publish, a stink bug lands on my face.
