Big Piece of Machinery

One Day At A Time.

Who comes up with this stuff? This slogan does not generally work for me unless we're talking about a day on Pluto, which lasts about 6 earth days. I think I could stay in a 6 day period. And I like the sound of the slogan better, too: Six Days At A Time.

And this despite the fact that the suggestion to live in the minute is part of the foundation of every religion and spiritual philosophy ever, as far as I can tell. It's the whole idea behind meditation: sit quietly and breathe, relax into the minute. Sit with yourself in the minute.

Usually I can feel my mind wind up slowly like a big piece of machinery starting up, gaining momentum.
