ZEN and the Organizationally Deficient

Maybe it's about focus. Like taking that time to sit and stare at the wall and count to 10, and do it until your thoughts stop counting just IS.




1-2-3, did i take the bread out of the oven... 1-2, it WAS my turn! 1-2, if he doesn't save some money, 1-2-3-4, it's a nice day, what am i doing in here..., 1-2-3-4-5-hmmm, i got to 5, 1-2-3-4-, drat!, 1-2-3-4-5-6 what a waste of time... 1-2-3-4-5, so much to do...1-2-3-4-5-6-7-this is supposed to help me get organized?, 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8, what tha! 1-2- oh god, 1-2-3, 3's a charm, 1-2-3-4, dog biscuits..., 1-2-3-4-5, this stinks..., 1-2-3-4-5-6-7, how could he treat me...1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-, oh shit...and on, No right, no wrong. One day they say given enough time to clear the mental jibber-jabber you reach serenity.


Getting focused is a practice, too.  Striving for impeccability is just that: Striving. It is all in the Practice of it. Process. Keep working at it.
