1619. Zen

I’m listening to Zen music and trying to strike a chord of inner peace after what turned out to be a long and trying day. Here is what I learned:

  1. While the walls are thin, they are infinitely thicker than the open air between two backyards as you are ripping your kid a new one for deciding his need for attention ‘right now’ is far more important than the building project I’m doing that, if I step away from ‘right now’ will come crashing down–which it did.
  2. The garage sensors are apparently below the front end of a car and will still slam the garage door down forcefully and repeatedly with the car stuck in it. Yeah, that happened too.
  3. Bees like flowers in my front yard. They like them so much that they’ve decided to never leave. Perhaps they’ll seek residence in my air vents. Perhaps they already have.
  4. Kids still cheat at video games.
  5. I’m good at a few things and communication does not appear to be one of them. At least not unless I write it down. Then I’m decent.

I find myself unusually negative this weekend, which is why I’m listening to an 8 hr zen track and considering the healing sounds of thunder and rain. I don’t know if any of it actually works without me moving towards a meditative state, but it can’t hurt.
