Meditation Distracted by Satire

Journal started Jun 10, 2001


Sometimes I say things not to be wise or true, but simply because the words sing so well together. I meditated with my Mom for the second time today. We're supposed to do it for 30 min. every day. It's wonderful! But hard. Mama gets all weird sometimes, aggressively mystical is the best I can describe it, and nothing's more mystical to her than meditation. Ahm... sa. Those words to me mean the center rising and falling, the cycle of relaxation, breathing and oxygenation, but nothing more. Forgive me for saying, but giving that dumb phrase any actual meaning or symbolism is just stupid. It's like taking a hammer.. oo! Me & a friend worked this out the other day:

Theoretical Mathematics meets How to Use a Screwdriver --- This... is a screwdriver. This is another screwdriver, different from the first. Here is a third screwdriver, which you may notice is unique from the previous two screwdrivers. During the course of this class you will learn how to identify and list every kind of screwdriver. You will learn to distinguish between screwdrivers by color, morphology, and composition. Students well versed in screwdriver theory can identify a screwdriver among other things, which themselves are not screwdrivers. They can also postulate new screwdrivers derived from the screwdrivers that already exist. Screwdrivers are a fascinating subject with many applications in screwdriver theory.
