Slowing down can take shape in many forms. One of the manifestations could occur when you are organizing your room or your house. RB was cleaning up the storeroom the other day and discovered many long forgotten ‘goods’. The key is to pick, chose, ponder, throw, keep with each taking hold of your mind one piece at a time.
Meditation isn’t always about sitting in lotus position. RB often finds it more meditative when a space is being cleaned, cleansed and organized.
Apart from re-enegizing the air particles when you are cleaning, one can inhale the past and embed it in the presence. We are merely accumulating the life in passing, and moving into the future flow.
Afterall, we are all just a sum of our pasts… and parts.

Imagine, I am blogging, I write “George put down his book; next momnet his phone rang! ” In the imaginary time of the sentences, there is no interval between putting down the book and hearing the phone ringing. But the author (blogger) does not live in the imaginary time. Between writing the “George put down his book: and “his phone rang”, I stared at the TV (blank) for 60 minutes and think fleetingly about George the character and for as long as I like, in a daze and the hours I wasted would not appear in George’s time.
