Coming to zero... with the suds.

I believe in what works. A lot of times I'll be talking to someone and because they know I'm an Atheist they often say about lots of things, "Of course, you don't believe in that." I will often respond with, "I believe in what works." From my point of view Yoga is stretching and it's good for you. Meditation won't imbibe me with any spirit or anything supernatural but it can relax me. I don't meditate in the usual sense of the word. I like to bring something back to zero. To clean it and get it ready for what it's designed to do. A car cleaned out all the way. Lately it's my kitchen.

I had a lot of dishes to do today and this didn't bother me in the least little bit. In fact I found myself looking forward to it. I wasn't sure why. So as I put the iPod on and started in on them I realized that this semi-mindless (yes I do get water all over myself usually) activity while I listen to the iPod is a form of centering or just resetting myself. No I don't think it's spiritual but man I love to cook. I love my tools to cook with and I love taking care of them. When I actually use the polish on my pans to make them gleam I get a real sense of satisfaction about it. Weird? yes.

To me this is an important part of stuff. Getting back to zero.
