Every morning and evening the bell rings and we can sit between the sounds. Today’s Daily Dose 100 word story is entitled The Bell Rings, enjoy!
The Bell Rings
Everyday waking at 5:00 AM then climbing dark and cold steps leading to
a vast meditation room.
Adjusting to the candle lit room I’d walk down the right side counting the cushions untill number 9.
The meditators took their place facing the wall. The bell rings ( ) sitting quietly for 45 minutes breathing in and out. Thoughts would come and go with our breath.
If we drifted off we were whacked with a thin stick bringing us back to our breath, back to the pivot of nothingness.
The bell rings ( ) we stand and bow and leave, all in the moment.
