"in its early stages, insomnia is almost an oasis in which those who have to think or suffer darkly take refuge." -sidonie gabrielle colette
Meditation is working with our speed, our restlessness, our constant busyness. Meditation provides space or ground in which restlessness might function, might have room to be restless, might relax by being restless. If we do not interfere with restlessness, then restlessness becomes part of the space. We do not control or attack the desire to catch our next tail.
Meditation practice is not a matter of trying to produce a hypnotic state of mind or create a sense of restfulness. Trying to achieve a restful state of mind reflects a mentality of poverty. Seeking a restful state of mind, one is on guard against restlessness. There is a constant sense of paranoia and limitation. We feel a need to be on guard against the sudden fits of passion or agression which might take us over, make us lose control. This guarding process limits the scope of the mind by not accepting whatever comes.
Instead, meditation should reflect a mentality of richness in the sense of using everything that occurs in the state of mind. Thus, if we provide enough room for restlessness so that it might function within the space, then the energy ceases to be restless because it can trust itself fundamentally. Meditation is giving a huge, luscious meadow to a restless cow. The cow might be restless for a while in its huge meadow, but at some stage, because there is so much space, the restlessness becomes irrelevant. So the cow eats and eats and eats and relaxes and falls asleep.
Acknowledging restlessness, identifying with it, requires mindfulness, whereas providing a luscious meadow, a big space for the restless cow requires awareness. So mindfulness and awareness always complement each other. Mindfulness is the process of relating with individual situations directly, precisely, definitely. You communicate or connect with problematic situations or irritating situations in a simple way. There is ignorance, there is restlessness, there is passion, there is agression. They need not be praised or condemned. They are just regarded as fits. They are conditioned situations, but they could be seen accurately and precisely by the unconditioned mindfulness. Mindfulness is like a microscope; it is neither an offensive nor a defensive weapon in relation to the germs we observe through it. The function of the microscope is just to clearly present what is there. Mindfulness need not refer to the past or the future; it is fully in the now. At the same time it is an active mind involved in dualistic perceptions, for it is necessary in the beginning to use that kind of discriminating judgement.

The old bridges on East Branch Road haven't got much life left in them, decades past their last real maintenance. The first span closer to the power station has mostly collapsed, and this second one won't be long to follow. Abandoned roads have held a huge defining force for me through the years. They seems to run such dark rings around me, energy that's slow to shake loose. Sometimes it pulls at my mind like a kind of daydream – all those endless kilometres and shoes I've worn through. Step after step in a kind of restless trance. Some of the oldest ways through the woods are those most forgotten, twisting ribbons through terrible terrain, chasing after wherever they used to end up. They still do, once you push through the brush, hop the puddles, trip over the ruts. They each hide that secret middle of nowhere I'm after.

Our little ones are starting to walk! It's so heart warming watching them trying to entangle all four of their legs enough to take a few steps :) They almost look drunk at times!
First time to do B & W image, the composition might be fine for me & to the additional dramatic angle of the boat.
