This is the thread to be mellow. MEL-low. Relax, take a deep breath, let it out. Become one with the computer chair. Think of puppies and flowers. Breathe, and relax, Breathe, and relax.

Whoosh...bad energy is gone.

Here is a Zen poem for you to contemplate.

If you think that you have
cut off illusory mind,
instead of simply clarifying
how illusory mind melts,
illusory mind will come up again,
as though you had cut
the stem of a blade of grass
and left the root alive.
- Menzen Zuiho (1682 –1769)

Breathe, Breathe, puppies, flowers, one with the computer chair, the horribly judgmental people don't matter, breath puppies flowers, and one with the computer chair.....
Yes! Thank you oregon you just kept me from typing a nasty post that probably would have been edited out.
You are wonderful!

Can I join in with a Novena instead? We're not supposed to have open minds and new age tendencies in the Catholic Church. Not that a Novena would be relaxing, but a few Ave Maria's could thread together as a pretty good Zennish chant if I channel them through my nose.

AAaaaCHEW ... thanks for the otherwise calming thread! :)

Born To Synthesize
Composer: Todd Rundgren
Album/CD: Initiation (1975)

A handful of nothing is all that I need
It contains plus and minus everything
The odd combinations are what make up
The world that you see before you

In one hand I hold what people call good
The rest I hold in the other
But these are just symbols to the perfected minds
Of which we are but mere reflections

I was born to synthesize
Energize and catalyze
I was born to synthesize

Like waves on still water the forms reappear
Quickly erasing the ones before
But forms like these are born only to die
But the life in them lives forever

Pyramids, spheres, and obelisks
are the patterns of all creation
But the red polygon's only desire
is to get to the blue triangle

I was born to synthesize
Visions rise before your eyes
I was born to synthesize

The orbits of consciousness spin 'round and 'round
Apparently they go nowhere
But the odd combinations are leading you on
To your home which is in the center

You were born to synthesize
Ain't no jive - it's no surprise
You were born to synthesize

Use the power of the force, Snee. I predict that this thread will magically levitate to the top of the list immediately after this post. Concentrating...
