Vipassana Diary - Day 7

Day 7 - 30 Aug, 2009

Dear Diary,

Day 7 done! Only 3 coat hooks left and then I can sing sing sing to my heart's content!

Today was a successful day, the best day so far. I'm starting to feel like a real meditator now. Concentration is coming easily and time is screaming by.

The food here has been surprisingly good. It's always filling, nutritious and reasonably tasty. With 60 different mouths to please, I'd expected it to be pretty bland. In 7 days I've almost never eaten the same thing twice. The food is all vegetarian (Rule No. 1 - No Killing), but as with most Indian veg food, you never leave the table with a half-empty stomach.

I thought I had a hair in my food today but it turned out to be a moustache hair... still attached. My designer stubble (which was always more hobo than Hugo anyway) has grown so long that my moustache has begun to tickle my lower lip. I considered shaving, but then an image flashed through my head of how awesome it would look if my mo grew so long it merged into the hairs below my mouth. It'd be as if I had no mouth at all, I'd be all beard! So it's staying for now.
