260917 What I learned in my studies this morning

Today's Meditation:

The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh (ed. by Melvin McLeod), Resting

I do this. Constantly. (Ba dum tiss.)

It takes a lot for me to find restfulness in my mind.

I've has some back pain recently which has kept me up many nights in the past week. During those long nights, as I lay awake resting, I have felt this particularly intensely.

I try to let myself drift to sleep, but often find myself sitting to meditate instead.

And restless.
