We’re at cruising attitude with settling the mind in its natural state. Tonight not many words about the practice. We’re reminded of the metaphors of floating on an air mattress in Tahiti and a falcon kiting into the wind. It is helpful to remain partially attentive to the somatic field of the body while beginning this practice.
