Beautiful peaceful photos and thoughts Alex -- or at least in theory, minus the distractions and bug bites and other challenges.

I loved your sentiment about different meditation styles "duking it out." That would make for a fun animation. We see our hero in silhouette. Lotus position. Striving to center and calm next to this quiet lakeside space.

Then slowly and peacefully zoom in to their head as we are transformed to a bombastic epic battleground between the various zen masters and meditation superheroes, fighting with lightning bolts and magical incantations while competing for the mindshare and attention of this poor acolyte.

Thank you! An animated epic battleground for various meditation techniques sounds awesome. That's what it felt like in my brain. I appreciate your comment.

Alex, one cannot miss the humour in your writing! I really love the way you integrate it with the seriousness of the topic.

Thank you, Shital. We need more humor in our lives, methinks, to balance out the horror.
