eyes of goopy stuff

From the Morning Pages, verbatim:

This is my (this) Sunday best. I got up with the phone wake-up at 2:59. Went to the bathroom, threw water on my face and my head, made the bed, bowed to the Buddha and the two kitties Mercedes and Lily on the bureau, drank water and came to the cushion in the darkened living room space and sat for 34 minutes.Then I bowed to the cushion nine times as suggested by Shunryu Suzuki and repeated the Four Boundless Vows into empty space.

Somewhere along the way I know I need to wash my sheets (did), and never judge how my sitting ‘went.’ Once, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, I confronted a man and said, “Tell me how this program works.” He grinned and said, “Just fine.”
