The Watcher

I have now been back in Japan for a week.

The past couple of weeks have been about observing. Hell, the last few months have been about just observing, listening, taking note and learning how I read things.

I find myself continuing to ease into being able to let what is be what is in my practice. I like to have vigorous, challenging practices, but I also appreciate practice, period and like having a focused introspective practice as well. I worry a lot that I'm being too easy on my body and that I'm letting its fitness slip, but this year has been very internally focused and I must tend to that part of myself as well.
