I like to meditate.

I do.
Some people call it prayer, or deep thought, or reflection.

But however you look at it.. in some form or another…  it is to think deeply or focus one’s mind for a period of time.  Some people do this in silence….. others use some methods of song… or chanting.   But most agree.. it is conducted for spiritual purposes or as a method of relaxation.

Now some people are better at this than others.   Like the Dali Lama.  Now that dude can meditate!  I know quite a few people who practice meditation.   My oldest brother’s husband is snappy at it.  You hear a lot of different “figures” in the media talk about their meditation practices from time to time.

Me?  Well.  I suppose I am just a little preoccupied… in general.  This is one reason I am working so hard at meditation.

I even built a Meditation Garden to help me.  It has a lot of rocks in it.  I like rocks.  In fact… rocks are good for a lot of things.  Rock’n’Roll.  Rock Hudson.  Rocky Top.  Rock of Ages.  Bedrock.  Rock a bye baby.  I’m gonna’ Rock around the clock tonight.  You rock.

DAG NAB IT.  See what I mean?  I try to simply JUST TALK about mediation…. and I get off track.

There are times when I try to meditate and all sorts of things come rushing to mind..  ..

I mean.  The WHOLE idea is to clear your mind of the clutter.  Hell… I hear clutter and I feel the need to clean something. THEN, the “Zestfully Clean” Theme Song will pop into my head.  Next thing you know… I’m saying… why did THAT POP into my head…. and all of a sudden I am hungry for a Pop Tart.  And then….

Pathetic.
Hopeless.
Meditation Misfit.

But I got one heck of a Rock Garden out of the deal.
