today, ThunderStorms forecast the whole day. and there was some of that but mostly just rain. But then…3:34 a bleat on the phone and Red Alert! Tornado Warning until 4:30 ??? We do not have tornadoes here. or have not had. They advised going to a secure shelter like a basement (which few homes have in California) or an inside room etc. None of which i have here….so….what do i do? for an hour? at the end of the Meditation Practice , …..there's always a one sentence "inspiration". today's was you can always find refuge in the breath so i went. for a bit and looking down saw the pencil and thought you can always find refuge in the pencil and i did. the color of the real sunlight that i talked about…. if i could have looked at it would not have been this, would have been much softer, vaguely "yellow" if a "color" at all but for sake of a drawing and because this was the only sun color on the table…………. . and it WAS refuge. I am so deeply glad for that moment. It will be with me forever.
