Seasonal work demands have dictated a change in the frequency of my Katannabis* meditation session. What was once my daily routine ( https://wordpress.com/post/senseijohn.me/3731 ) has become a weekly session on Sunday nights. Sunday being my only day off.
To describe the effect of this change, I offer the poem The Panther, by Rainer Maria Wilke. Katannabis is now like the image that rushes into the Panther’s eye.
The Panther:
His vision, from the constantly passing bars,
Has grown so weary that it cannot hold anything else.
It seems to him there are a thousand bars;
And behind the bars, no world.
As he paces in cramped circles, over and over,
The movement of his powerful soft strides
Is like a ritual dance around a center
In which a mighty will stands paralyzed.
Only at times, the curtain of the pupil lifts, quietly –
An image rushes in,
Rushes down through the tensed, arrested muscles,
Plunges into the heart and is gone.
To be sure I still perform short meditations throughout the day. If I did not, I could get through the demands of the day. It helps be cope whereas daily Katannabis expanded me as a person.
The key is to maintain myself until the seasonal demands end and I again have the capability to return to my daily Katannabis.
* Katannabis is the entheogenic combination of my Kata-Rx program and medical cannabis.
