40 minutes

I have successfully increased my morning practice to 40 minutes for almost a week.  Even though it is only a 5-10 minute extension from what my average morning meditation period has been, it has sometimes felt much longer.  It feels like my brain is stretching...and resisting.  This is good.  Now to observe as my mind stretches, cracks appear, and the pus begins to ooze from my infected mind.
