So now it’s your turn to speak to the World Wide Web. If any of you have any questions or comments that you now dare to say, please go ahead.
Questioner: Lately, the challenge in my practice is often just staying awake. So I don’t even have time to relate to anything except trying to keep upright. Sometimes I have not slept for a long time because of small children, and I wonder if that will get better, or is it just the nature of some people’s practice?
Gil: You don’t have time to relate to anything because you are sleepy, so then you ask yourself about how you are relating to your sleepiness. How are you relating to it?
Questioner: I usually just catch myself dreaming, and then I realize that I’m not awake, so I wake myself up.
Gil: Is it that innocent, that you just notice that you are dreaming and drifting and it is an interesting observation and you just carry on? Or is there discouragement or anger?
Questioner: No I’m just used to being tired.
Gil: So it’s ordinary for you.
Questioner: It is.
Gil: So you might do walking meditation.
Questioner: Here?
Gil: Sure. You probably should go out into the hall and you are welcome to walk back and forth.
