Zoe's latest interest is listening to children's story tapes on my old Sony Walkman. She listens to music on a little, old MP3 player she has; of course she's used to jamming in the living room to the ipod. Yesterday, she wanted a story to listen to. The only ones I could think of were these old tapes I still had from my childhood. I pulled them out of storage, got out the Walkman, and gave her a few instructions about how tapes/tape players work. She has been carrying that thing around ever since! It is amusing to see how much enjoyment she gets out of this "new" technology available to her! Ha-ha!!!
If only it had an off switch; my mind. It is noisy and cluttered and I can feel it in my stomach and in my throat. I'm all one piece, after all. If I could disconnect, I'd be in a quiet, comfortable place. Alas, I am entwined, and so I must breathe slowly-deeply. I will get to quiet and calm if I can only breathe. Be still, mind; silence to this mortal temple in which I reside. May you too have peace and be blessed. And do not forget to breathe.
