Now... Where Did I Put That Damn Zen???
by Amy Austin on September 24, 2010
Okay... one thing that's always seemed like a great idea in theory, but feels impossible in practice, is meditation. I just cannot quiet my brain... which is so loud that it even produces the night-time head movies that make my eyes rain. ;-p (Never go full retard, folks.)
But watching this comes pretty darned close to a meditative state, and -- more importantly -- it makes me smile.
(Also... take note of the Antoine Dodson update -- good for him!!)

that's funny.....reaching a meditative state isn't easy, I quit sitting for a few years I still don't do it often because it usually eludes me. Lately I find my days filled with artistic obsessions that require my complete focus.

Exhausted.
I don't remember if I made any mention here (aside from any private messages) about my grandmother's death at the end of April. It was rather sudden/unexpected, given her condition at the time... and, considering all other grief in my life at present, I took it a lot better than I ever thought I would -- I was closer to her than any other member of my family (probably true in both senses, actually). Go »Painful Life = Even More Painful Dreams...
I don't know if I feel quite brave or open enough (a shocking thing for me to say... at least to me, anyway) to share the raw and emotional details of the dream I had this morning, but... suffice it to say that I have enough difficulty trying to get through the heartbreak of my waking hours -- I *don't* need that shit following me to bed when I'm trying to do my best to sleep it off at night!!! Go »Feeling Like Crying...
...but also like I am simply out of tears. Heart is heavy. Go »Eureka!
I am still using all of my energy just to recuperate right now and had not intended to share much in the way of details, but now that it's out there... First, my impromptu visit to see Steve and his lovely wife, Brenda. It is certainly never my intent to blindside anyone with an unexpected drop-in visit -- least of all someone I've never met before! Go »Bummer, Aaron...
I just read your last blog post, and I'm really sorry. I know you said "no reply", but I hope you won't mind my addressing you here in my own blog... so far only seemingly reserved for similarly worrisome topics. Go »
