Rigpa Glimpse of the Day for Nov 11 2008

November 11
Open people ask me: “How long should I meditate? And when? Should I practice twenty minutes in the morning and in the evening, or is it better to do several short practices during the day?” Yes, it is good to meditate for twenty minutes, though that is not to say that twenty minutes is the limit. I have not found in the scriptures any reference to twenty minutes; I think it is a notion that has been contrived in the West, and I call it Meditation Western Standard Time.
The point is not how long you meditate; the point is whether the practice actually brings you to a certain state of mindfulness and presence, where you are a little open and able to connect with your heart essence. And five minutes of wakeful sitting practice is of far greater value than twenty minutes of dozing!

We finished our mission with the pipelaying vessel Solitaire. She is the largest in the world laying the deepest pipe on record. What a treat to be a part of such an operation. The mates envited me up for a tour, spectacular. Had dinner, coffee and a tour of the bridge. I do love my job. Posted a few new pictures, hope you enjoy them.

We are already off to new adventures. As long as I have a good connection, like here in Houma, Lousaiana, it is pretty easy to publish to this blog.

Learning to Love

Today I am learning to love. To get out of myself and into action helping another person helps not only them but myself as well. Why am I such a hard learner? Why does it take so long to let down the walls and let another person in? Tough. I am learning though, slowly but surely. Great holiday this year, off to work tomorrow and then my train trip in January. There is a link on my homepage, jameswhudgens, come on over and visit.
