mahasatipatthana

I've had the strangest injury: first, 3 weeks ago I sprained my ankle, then the weekend before last just as that was getting better I jumped into a pool I thought had 3 more feet to the bottom, and injured the heel of that same foot, so it hurts like hell unless I walk incredibly slow. So slowly in fact, that I have time to just pay attention to everything - I'm forced to, in fact. And my shoulders relax, and my spine straightens, and I get this nice harmonious feeling, just walking with calm awareness. Everything feels natural. Slowing everything down... you realize how in a rush you are to get everywhere. Haste is an awful thing.
