Not many people can sit on a bench
Not many people can sit on a bench.
The best time of the year to start is end winter
taking its final steps towards spring. The mixture
of the cold wind with the gentleness of the rays
of the sun lends itself perfectly to sitting
on a bench. (In Lisbon you can even do it at the beginning
of winter - I must go back there.)
Sitting on the bench that unique mixture is
so subtle. It is small enough to enter the pores
of your body. It demands the utmost highest
awareness plus a respect
for the mixture, or it wont work.
But when it does, and it does! This mixture
fine as it is has the ability to fill your whole
body and set in motion an inner dynamic.
The sun’s rays enter you and shine on all your
inner parts.
Your organs, your thoughts, your mood of one
second ago. A bubble’s created by the mixture
where none can enter.
When that happens, and your whole body fills up, your
chin moves up slightly up. A tender smile appears.
And when you look around in the park, you will notice
that many people have found out about
this practice and the fine mixture!
There is a secret club present in
all parks all over the world and
their pact is that their only way of communicating
is through that smile that shows
they’re drunk with the mixture.
