I've got one of those brains (maybe you have one too!) that gets excited really easily so even if I'm liking something, I quickly get too excited and miss what I'm actually doing. It's a weird thing. You'd think that doing thinks you like to do brings happiness - but for me, I don't think that's the case. So tonight I was watching Glastonbury for a couple of hours, really enjoying watching Lily Allen, Lady Gaga, The Makabees, and Little Boots and then realised, oh, I'm not enjoying it any more - I'm just watching because I'm stuck. So without really thinking, I grabbed by Zafu,did 30 minutes Zazen in the garden, then came back and watched some more. It really helped me enjoy Glastonbury more. I'm finding it's becoming a much more applicable art now - not just something I do for 30 minutes and then leave. It's a growing awareness of what I need to fully enjoy this life right now and by consequence not be a nuisance or harm to those around me.
