Dictionary Stories 2010-07-21

Sabbath

It is strangle appropriate and in appropriate that this story is being written on Sunday. (That's assuming that I click the submit button today) Appropriate that today is the Sabbath for Christians. Of course technically this could count as work and so shouldn't be being done now.

I know that the title of this section is 'Dictionary Stories' but there are some words that simply do not call a story to my mind. So I will use this as a segue to talk about religion. I'm a Buddhist and recently have become a practicing Buddhist.

By this I mean that I say mantra every morning and try silent sitting. It is strange how difficult it can be to just sit in silence trying, though try might be a contradiction, to think of nothing. My mind is always a jumble of varies things - story ideas - what's for dinner and many other things. Plus the sound of the road outside my house can be quite distracting.

(Well what do you know? Its now Wednesday! Days go so fast!)

...but somewhere amongst all of that you somehow get to a moment of...I don't know what the word is. A moment of something and then suddenly the silent sitting seems to work.

I know that this post is long and rambling and has nothing to do with the title. I keep thinking of incorporating pictures into the blog but am not really ever sure of what - any ideas? Went to Ikea today and that doesn't seem a thing necessary to post.
