I arrived home around 2:00 AM and had some green tea. I then polished up my guitar and meditated briefly. I realized how important it is to not only feed our souls with meditation, but also by doing what we love. I was so in the zone from playing music that my meditation occurred spontaneously.

Then I realized that the reason I had a hard time swallowing it wasn’t because it meant that I choose to experience my own misfortune as I initially thought.
