I'm gonna try this meditation thing again too, once I've caught up. I have tried to learn a couple of times.

Usually I manage to close my eyes, focus on my breathing, relax & . . . fret.

Worry.

Get into some imaginary conversation.

Or (rarely) write a poem.

Or click an idea that wasn't quite right finally into place.

Or fall asleep.

But what I would really like is blankness. Even a second or two. How quiet!
