in the scheme of things, this has its place~

i haven't practiced zazen in some years, tbh.  but i'm inspired to take up the practice again, moving forward.  i was able to retrieve my cushions, and my interval timer device was still with them, too, that i use:

 had this zafu and zabuton for like, ever, hehe.  I've refilled the zafu with fresh buckwheat hulls maybe 2-3 times over the years.  what times, in the spaces of 'nothing,' eh.

this is the timer i've used for the zazen sessions

maybe not 'best practice' but i think i had been using it to alert me at 25 mins to let me know the session was almost over, and then 5 mins later to know i had completed a 30 minute session.

of course, i won't be jumping back into 30 minute sessions, just like that.  not so easy, such a practice.  maybe try for 10 minute sessions, and see if I can manage that.

i think i'll set this as an intended goal to work on, over the next 2-3 days.

yay inspiration.  tho i should be ashamed i've neglected this for so long.  my teacher would not be pleased  :x
