A monk sits at the peak of a hill that overlooks where the grassy Earth meets a river, the river flows with a breeze, and the breeze explores a mountain range, and the mountains neighbor the sky, and the sky conceals the entire universe, hiding the unknown in plain sight. The monk exhales “Ooooomm”. He repeats this until a noise, very faint, breaks his chant.
“moo.”
The monk stops for a moment but, without changing his position, dismisses it. “Ooooooommm.” He begins again.
He’s interrupted again, “moooo.”
The monk turns to find a cow looking up at him from the bottom of the hill. “Kind cow,” the monk says, “please do not interrupt my meditation.”
The cow stares blankly back at the monk. The monk sighs and continues.
“Oooooommmm-”
Even louder, “Mmmooooooooo.”
“Dear cow, I must reach enlightenment. Please, refrain from making your cow noises or find another hill.”
The monk continues again, “Oooooooommmm-”
“MMMmmoooooooooooO!” The cow exclaims.
The monk stands up angrily, “Cow! Why must you interrupt my chanting?”
The cow replies, “Because you’re saying it backwards!”

I tried doing this once in the military (the 70’s) and was ORDERED to stop.

I’ve been thinking about taking up meditation.
I figure it’s better than sitting around doing nothing.

You know what they say about the food at meditation centers?
It may not take up all your stomach but it will always keep your mind full.

I try to get 8 hours of sleep each day. I make my bed as comfortable as possible. At least 1/3 of my day is at maximum comfort.
