  Worthy reading
Jon Kabat-Zinn's new book Coming to Our Senses: Healing Ourselves and the World Through Mindfulness has now appeared. All 656 pages of it. Kabat-Zinn probably has a lot to say, and I will definitely read it. I have sworn that I will finish at least two of the books I have already begun reading before I order it.

I should mention that Kabat-Zinn has done some of the most respected scientifically based research on the effects of meditation, mindfulness and yoga in the past 20 years. The book brings together his investigation and thinking since his previous book, published in 1995.

I have already purchased a new set of Kabat-Zinn audio CDs/tapes, including a bodyscape, a soundscape, a mindscape, a nowscape, and a bunch more fun things to do while you're mindful. Almost four full hours of programming -- of course, most of it is silence. I've used his previous set for more than two years and enjoyed them. They are currently on loan to my son in graduate school.

I thrive when exploring new realms of knowledge and experience.

"The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye. One seeing, one knowing, one love."
         — Meister Eckhart

"Life is like a ten-speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use."

"You become a writer by writing. It is a yoga."

Men cannot see their reflection in running water, but only in still water.
        — Chuang Tzu, philosopher (c. 4th century BCE)

Many people hear voices when no-one is there. Some of them are called mad and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day. Others are called writers and they do pretty much the same thing.
