Posting poems on the internet is strange. Dare I say lame? I am pondering the possiblity of removing it. Ahhhhh whatever. Post your weird bad art nicole, so that your mommy can see it. Almost like she's putting it up on the fridge. But more... public. Speaking of my momz. Has anyone talked to her lately? I am a bad daughter who has not had the chance to call her mom in almost a month. Calling North America is difficult. I seem to always be sleeping when the other side of the world is awake. Phoning someone at 2 in the AM would be highly inappropriate. Silly silly girl.
Today was day 7 of my readventure into 40 days of meditation. It is interesting to set up little projects for yourself and actually stick to them. 15 minutes every day. It is advised to meditate either in the morning or in the evening, however this doesn't seem to work for me. So I'm going with the flow and sitting quietly with the breath whenever I feel inspired. Which apparently is around 1 o'clock in the afternoon. How strange. How have I managed these past 7 days? Limiting my use of the internet. The internet officially eats my brain. I do believe I can state that it is a proven fact. And if not my brain, then at least my will power.
Well two blogs in two days is a little bit overzealous. Consider this more of a "P.S.". In case you are in need of a little bit of reading, I am reading "Dominion" by Matthew Scully. Who was a guest on The Daily Show. I think the New York Times book review explains the book quite nicely (why bother doing it myself!):
"Dominion is a horrible, wonderful, important book. It is horrible in its subject, a half-reportorial, half-philosophical examination of some of the most repugnant things that human beings do to animals.... The book is wonderful in its eloquent, mordant clarity, and its hilarious fillets of sanctimonious cant and hypocrisy.... Dominion is important in large measure because the author, an avowed conservative Republican and former speechwriter for George W. Bush, is an unexpected defender of the animals against the depredations of profit driven corporations, swaggering, gun-loving hunters, proponents of renewed 'harvesting' of whales and elephants and others who insist that all of nature is humanity's romper room, to play with, rearrange, and plunder at will.... This is a beautiful book, and a balm to the scared, lonely animal in us all. -- Natalie Angier, The New York Times Book Review
And there you have it folks. Book recommendations on a sunny afternoon. Be well. I miss you. xx. -n.
