Sharing experiences and information on meditation in a personal manner
It was my fathers birthday last week and as my parents had seated their retired butts on a nice campsite the whole family went there to celebrate. After taking it easy for a while, breathing in fresh oxigen for a change my nephew came to get me. "Aunt Francisca, come over here, you got to help me..." he said. So, I walked with him to some trees where he had a big bucket half full of pine-cones. "Come on, you have to help me fill this bucket" he said.
So, I started picking up pine-cones just like he was doing and helped him out. I was picking up pine-cones for about ten minutes when I realised how relaxed I was feeling. I had not thought about a thing other than filling that bucket. But then I started thinking again and I told my nephew that the squirrels might not be too happy about the fact that we were taking all their food away.
