Losing my om
Everyone needs to find a chant to meditate on, to help clear the mind of all the nonsense coming in and out. So I picked RAM because I had been listening to a lot of Ram Dass and that is what he uses to calm his mind and enter meditation. Ram means god.
But last night, as I tried to sleep through coughing, wheezing and general aches and pain, not to mention the security alarm going off at 3:30am I was saying Ram and my racing mind was thinking Ram – ney as in Romney and that is something that is not soothing to my mind. So I stopped.
Then I started thinking about renting out the house and my mind started doing somersaults and so I stopped thinking about that.
Then I began thinking about work and then I fell asleep thinking of Mark Zuckerberg and mobile advertising and then I became wired all over again.
So I did what I do for Tin, I began to count backwards and the next thing I knew it was morning.
Now I need to find a new chant.
