There is something about going into a non-dual reality where things become a flow of energy rather than named emotions. I just did a meditation for an hour in which I watched the sensations of the body change as thoughts arouse in the mind how the would come from nowhere have an existence in the mind as the body would react by tightening and loosening muscles and organs and then they would return from whence they came. The thoughts that seem so real why they are in the mind the emotions that seem so real while they are felt in the body just pass through and return from whence they came. Only to be replaced by anew set of emotions and thoughts that go through the same process of rising and falling. The amount of energy each of them has the believability of the thoughts or the tension that is in the muscles becomes the interesting phenomena. It all becomes impermanent. Just like the Buddha postulated.
Small triumphs were the order of the day. My utility room sink has been clogged causing water to spill on the floor when the washing machine drains. B and I got a hose stuffed it into the clean out ,stopped up all of the drain openings , and turned the hose on full blast . It blew the obstruction out of the pipes and into the septic tank. Felt good to get something to work without costing a lot or making an environmental mess.
I missed the deadline for getting the trash out to the street, called the councilman's office and got a very kind reply from someone in the trash collection agency who heard of my gong to doctors. I really got a feeling for the fact that those folks in the bureaucracy are humans and have the same feelings that the rest of do and that there is kindness everywhere. It was something of a humbling moment. Bless Kevin.
