I haven't been blogging in a bit. Laziness because of the never ending cloudy weather took over. On the plus side I had time to check out a local meditation group. My friend Molly and I decided it was time to try one of these meditation groups and last night was the night. After driving back and forth on Rt. 50 for about 20 minutes, and passing at least 20 churches (I am not exaggerating at all) we finally found the place. By this time we were really late and we could see everyone sitting peacefully inside. We stood outside sort of nervously pacing and debating about whether we would be kicked out of class for coming in late and disturbing everyone.Finally we decided to enter and I am so glad we did. Molly really gets the credit because I probably would have wimped out and gone home. We brought along our own sitting cushions and quietly plopped down in the back of the room. It was about 30 people all sitting in chairs or on the floors with Jonathan Foust leading the meditation. We sat in silence and then Jonathan added little bits of advice about how to improve your experience. After the meditation he gave a talk about being comfortable with the impermanence of things. All in all - I loved it and will definately be back. Check out the International Meditation Center of Washington website for more information.
