Just the other day I was giving a talk on meditation, and having a jolly time of it. A lady, who did have quite a severe countenance (who had confided in me earlier that she was practicing the meditation technique of another tradition), piped up, exclaiming: “WHY are you slouching?” I was tickled by this

My friend has just started a dog training business. Guess what it’s called? That’s right: “Sit Happens.” Isn’t that cool? Well I thought it was just perfect. Your dog is a lot like your mind.

I was in the store yesterday, and as often times happens, a rather large queue formed. The three tills were down to one, the lady on the till was new, you know the story. It had been a while since I’ve experienced this, but I could feel the people in the queue almost shaking with
