I tend to stress over the little things. The little niggly matters that are not directly in my control, where someone else is holding all the cards, guarding them like some overzealous paranoid poker player. These will drive me to distraction. So much so that I will keep picking at the issue, a scab on my conscious, until it is a raw festering wound, painful to the touch, inducing a sense of nausea whenever it is poked. I need to learn to let go of my concerns. I need to become that calm center in the eye of any storm, but as of yet, I have not been able to find the secret, the trick, the Zen know how of complete and utter serenity. Until I do I must remember to breathe.

If you figure out the zen know how, you have to post it. :)
Posted by: Meredith on Mayo 20, 2003 04:39 PMok, that description made my stomach churn!
Have you tried Yoga? (also, I've heard sex helps...).
Posted by: Amber on Mayo 20, 2003 06:10 PMyes, breathing is so important, sweetie! *wink*
Posted by: nicole on Mayo 20, 2003 07:14 PMBreathing. One of those habits that is fatal to break.
Posted by: Hugin on Mayo 20, 2003 09:25 PMYes, sex is one of the few legal ways to reach a state of peacefulness. Calling in sick to work and just walking around the city drinking coffee and window shopping with the one you love works well too!
Posted by: stacey on Mayo 20, 2003 09:41 PMThat picture of you two in the Mirror Project, where you both are looking into each other's eyes, is the sweetest! So happy looking.

Mer and Stacey, thank you both so much for the compliments. *shy smile*
Mer, if I ever find the zen know how, i promise to post it. in the meantime if someone does find it, please, please tell me.
Amber, sorry sweetie. did not mean to have your tummy churn :( am looking into trying yoga, have been perusing a couple of dvd titles, and as of yet am not sure which one to try.
Nicole. no. don't want to *holds breath* ;op
Stacey and Amber. sex. huh? could be intresting. could be lots of fun. *turns to Hugin* So love, what are you doing tonight? hmm? *teasing smile*
Stacey. thanks so much. it is one of my favourite pictures. *warm shy smile*
No need to apologize, it was a great description! ;)
Posted by: Amber on Mayo 21, 2003 03:32 PMRemember, you can't orgasm without breathing. Well, you can't really enjoy it much if you're passed out.
Does that help?
