Sitting on Friday Morning

I enjoyed a short sit this morning. I lit a fire on this warm morning because our house is cool inside and also, I am experiencing a draught this week on the inside. I am using my Mindfulness Mantle daily, along with sitting in the center of the circle rug and on a pillow. I find that I rotate other tools such as poetry, tingshas, chanting, to prepare or close quiet time.  The quality of my inner scape this morning is achy, chilly, and foggy; and the quiet soothes the ache, attending as a mother might soothe her crying child. The quiet lifts the fog, like sunshine. After sitting, my inner fire is lit, tended and blazing.
