Day 2


My back still burns when I sit, but I was able to relax and not be moved by the pain. I’m learning not to be angry with myself when my mind drifts. I'm supposed to be compassionate with myself.

Something strange is happening. I have become very conscious of things I normally block out like background noises and smells. I think do this due having lived in Chicago. There are so many background noises you could go mad if you paid attention to them all. And there are so many smells, mostly bad to horrid smells that you learn to block them out. We at least if you lived in Uptown.

Today, outside of meditation, I’ve been hearing all the little sounds around me. It’s kind of weirding me out but also new at the same time. I think something is wrong with my car. I can hear it making several strange noises as I drive. Could just be me though.
