Hence does the apparently near universal need for music or some other electronically delivered noise pouring into our heads every waking minute displace mindfulness. A radio in the shop, cell phone for texting while driving or to avoid the horror of being alone in the supermarket, or anywhere else, or bored with the approaching sunset, fills the reverberating void in our heads where there doesn't seem to be any inner "chatter". Thanks, but my inner chatter is me, and I'll take that in silence over most of the intrusive diversionary noise it's becoming harder to avoid all the time. Personally, I consider myself to be a mechanic. There are plenty of sufficiently indistinct Zen masters to go around already, and I wouldn't want to blow their cover and spoil their gig. > We do have the opportunity to bring beauty into the lives of others > through our work and our being. Indeed we do, and so we continue to try each in our own way. Ron N - non smoking
