A request for help for my daily practice

[Frank]

Great responses ....

If we all sit in the rain... We will get wet.
How we feel when we are wet is up to us.
Some might stay inside to avoid the rain.
Some will hold an umbrella.
Some will dance in the rain.

Oops ... Sorry.....Welcome David...and GOOD MORNING EVERYONE !

I would add one thing to what has been said: do what you believe will help you to actually sit regularly. You know yourself best, if a bit of ritual and a rigid schedule will help, please do that. If squeezing it in between other tasks will help, please do that. If a dedicated practice space will help, please set one up (even if it is just big enough for a zabuton or folded blanket).

Just my $0.02.

I also think this is important.

And I agree with Jundo that everyone is unique regarding how much structure is needed.

Dogen talked about dropping body and mind which implies trust in this practice of just sitting. Trust in what is.
So many like me get stuck in their heads.

SAT today
