Hah they have to ping me in instant messenger. Isnât awesome that my building is a cellphone black hole?
Really itâs bizarre, I get dropped calls over by the windows but if I go into the elevator I get full bars.

Do you know that I do a short yoga routine each night before bed? But donât I miss being able to afford going to yoga classes, even though some of the teachers at the last studio I attended were a little too woo for my tastes?
And am I not looking forward to moving next month, when we will have more square feet of floor space, and I can get back to practicing a bit more, maybe with video guidance?

I know youâre supposed to refer to a more experienced âteacherâ when exploring such things as âjust sittingâ zen, yoga, or whatever, but the stuff designed to calm the throes of ones mind seems to me like itâs directly entrained to breath control. Itâs almost impossible not to be calmed if you sit, following your breath with a straight-as-fuck back for more than⌠what 30 minutes?
To my mind, unless the teaching is of the self-eradicating variety, useful to a point and then âfind your own wayâ, the whole enterprise is likely to get poisoned by the inclinations and opinions of said teacher.
I like the soto school for encouragement and rinzai for realisation. Reading the two Suzukis gives the impression of an inverse to the presentation of Zen as diametric as Iâve yet encountered in a âbreath control, just sittingâ scenario. Rinzai is supposed to be all pure and fast but seems encumbered by a lot of metaphysics, whilst the traditionally âspiritualâ Soto just seems gentle and self effacing. Donât I want my metaphysics to consume itself?
Anyway, I know what that insurmountable build-up of stress feels like, youâll get to the bottom of the well soon enough. 
A question?
