Irony of Ironies

I thought I’d get a load of house work done today and as usual stuck my Ipod on and set off cleaning the floors. I was listening to a 3 cd set of ‘Wherever you go There You Are’ by Jon Kabat Zinn. The book is in in-depth look at meditation and it explodes some of the myths and misunderstandings about the practice. A great starting point for those wanting to investigate meditation in more detail.

Anyway, I was on my hands and knees cleaning the bathroom floor when it suddenly hit me what I was doing.

I was listening to a cd that was telling me all about being in the moment and explaining what consciousness was. At the very same time I was trying to do about 3 things at once, one of which was listen to an explanation of why we can and should only be every doing one thing at once, or at the very least be giving our attention to one thing. I think I missed the point to begin with ;-)

I’ll be back tomorrow with my PFE, I got a bit side tracked there.
