Lighten Up!

It's a funny misunderstanding on my part, the idea of searching for clarity... Sometimes I catch myself asking, "What more do I require/where do I need to look to find focus, clarity, peace?" When really, the bottom line is, "What can I get rid of, give away, or eradicate from my mind's carry-on baggage to clear the clutter?" I find that a couple hits from the neti pot, or choosing one of a million forms of meditation allows the music to pour out faster and more freely than a thousand hours of "working at it". I'm practicing the opposite of trying: Doing! (As in Do-ing, not a strange spring-like onomatopoeia.)

While we're on the topic, new album spotless is nearly out of my system. Few more scoops of my new favorite snack and we'll be in business.

lightening the load,
