Two days ago: I was meditating in my pop-up mosquito tent when a skunk walked right in front of me, crossing from left to right not two feet away. It was interesting to observe my reaction: from the 'oh shit' to the sudden elevated heartbeat. She didn't appear to notice me (the mosquito net must obscure my appearance) much to my relief.
One day ago: Labor Day weekend, so of course it rained. We went to Metro Beach Metro park, which was a little disappointing. The beach was very thickly seaweed-y, and the rain was vicious. My wife invited several families, and I had to watch the kids, unfortunately, so I really couldn't enjoy it very much It looked like an interesting park, and I hope to visit it again soon.
Today, I screwed up. I thought that my semester started today, but in fact my classes do not start until Thursday. I wondered why nobody was coming to class: including the teacher!
Made a homemade mediation cushion with a pillow case, some duck tape, and some folded newspaper. My wife enjoys sleeping with my regular pillow, so something had to be done.
Realized that my mosquito tent was a sacred space: all eight directions, with nadir and zenith as well..
Am noticing settling and levels of depth ...
