i have found myself reciting specific lines from the dhammapada and other scripture in my mind at random times during the day. i have reread the DP several times over and i have favorite lines that resonate with me. in reciting them, i am constantly flowing with that dharma...i believe i understand what dharma refuge is now. when i think about the dharma i am constantly at ease; not in an artificial way either. i truly believe in the dharma and truly know that when i take refuge in it i will be at peace.

You have plan! Seems like a helpful, functional practice. Aimless wandering and wondering is the road many of us have been down ...
Good call
I love the DP as well Ever check out the poems of the early monks and early nuns it's these two little books in the pali canon that are amazing!
If I may ...
Attention to a sutra or riffing on a theme ...
Bringing attention can also involve writing any insights (spiritual diary) and sharing them. Dharma becomes Sangha (community/sharing/spiritual friendship)
