I read in one of the many books on meditation that I have (probably http://www.urbandharma.org/pdf/mindfulness_in_plain_english.pdf), that when you develop mindfulness, everything picks up a sort of softness.
After sitting for only 45 min today, I had some interesting insights (that thoughts become more solid not only because of the initial concept, but because there is a chain of concepts that follows that also "plant anchors" and trick the mind into believing there is solidity to a particular concept). But very interestingly, there is now a mental and physical sensation of softness that is pervading everything I think, feel, and do. The keys have a softness in their bounce that I've never felt before. All of the thoughts that pass through my mind lack a heaviness, and are soft in the way you might imagine a cloud to feel. Happiness pervades everything I think and do right now.
A lovely feeling, which will hopefully lead to more insights.
