What
I used to do is wait in line and I’d do mantra or breathing. I’d go
into my Vipassana meditation. But now I’m interested in whether waiting
in line at the bank can itself be the thing. I notice my impatience,
notice the feeling in my feet as I am standing there, notice the
different levels of reality of the people I’m looking at. Am I seeing a
bank teller or am I seeing the Divine Mother as a bank teller? I allow
myself to play with the moment more, still dealing with the stuff of the
moment rather than going away.
