just to breathe...

my one new thing a day experiment is going well.
yesterday i ate my very first roasted chestnut.
today...
today.
Today at lunch, me, deb, dave, andrea and julia went to our first meditation class at the sri chinmoy centre.
It was an *adventure.*
We walk to a mysterious painted door in the city, and a man with blue eyes allows us in.
We take our shoes off, leave them in a white bookcase. The high white walls have golden drawings of soul birds. Sit on pillows, and for precious moments, sit in a horseshoe, as a woman with a beautiful smile guides us through a meditation.
When we open our eyes again, the world is in full colour again. More peaceful.
We walk outside, and there in the city, we have a group hug.
And as we stand there in our blissed out circle, we talk about how it felt.

It makes me giggle to think what we must have looked like.

I know what it felt like though, and it was good.
It warmed my soul on a winter's day, just as the roasted chestnuts and good conversation warmed me as we walked back.

these are the days we must have.
