On the net, of course, it’s morning, afternoon, evening, or night-time 😀 somewhere.

  1. In the meditation tradition I follow, zazen, the point is to be fully present to everything, not to blank it out, to let what arises, arise, feel it, and let it pass on. We are advised not to spin it into analysis, story, planning (“to think”), but let it come and go.
