Meditation Lesson Five

Hello Everyone:

Today was better. I was back in the full on meditation mode and all was good. Andy's voice was so soothing and good to hear again. He made a good point about not forcing things, just relax and be present moment.  I have to try to follow his advice more often. That includes personal relationships. I don't try to force relationships, bad idea and it leads to resentment.  Forcing the writing doesn't work either. Creative efforts require a more gentle approach, you can't force it. You have to just go with the flow. If the muse is with you that day, great. If not, then don't force it, go do something else that day. Speaking of doing something, I need to find other things to do besides sit in the Business Center all afternoon. As I've said before, I have all this energy that needs an outlet. Not just another creative outlet but a non-creative outlet, like a job.  I don't know what kind of job but something to occupy my time. Ideally something that allows me to indulge my interests and get something out of it, other than a paycheck. The paycheck is part of the territory. I need something else like something to indulge my intellectual interests. At the very least, something to keep me from being bored.
