Nice post. I love the quotes you gave, especially. If you like something, you just do; and that is sufficient reason alone. That’s a good one.

I can’t sit Indian-style for more than a few minutes without my feet falling asleep! I have lots of respect for you.

Whether you think you did or not, it sounds like you did realize a few things. I love the quotes you gave, especially: “If you like something, you just do; and that is sufficient reason alone.” That’s a good one.

@3gyupsal: ha ha.. yeah, I think that kind of meditation you’re talking about is called a vacation. Quite a popular style, actually. 🙂 I didn’t get too far with the hike. It’s supposed to be a 4-5 hour hike but the mountain was icy.
@Laura: Thanks. I believe the original light bulb realization that crossed my mind was more like “Fuck it.” And then I wrote the nicer version. ha ha..

Wow, that sounds painful. Did you eventually make it up Mt. Gaya? A mountain climb and sitting cross legged for 7 hours sound terrible. Sitting cross legged for 7 minutes sounds terrible. Do you know if anyone practices a type of meditation where you sit in a comfy couch and enjoy refreshments?
