Have you ever done meditation? Or gone on a spiritual retreat?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on July 26, 2012
“During a class on east Asian studies, I took a field trip to a Buddhist monastery in the middle of a cornfield in Minnesota, for a feeding of the ghosts. It seemed so absolutely important but so completely detached from its surroundings. It was powerful and bizarre.”
“I have. It was overall a good experience.”
“I tried to meditate, but it was really hard to let my mind go blank.”
“I couldn’t get relaxed enough, but I think it’s a wonderful thing. ”

I used to everyday and it's a wonderful and powerful tool but very difficult at times. Not so often now but that will be changing soon!

Since Sammy believes there is no inherent right to privacy, it is only fair he be subjected to his constituents being allowed into the privacy of his bedroom!!! All's fair, so I'm told.

Only when listening to today's Tom Sawyer. Talk radio has a way of putting me asleep at the wheel.
