A plane is on its way to Houston when a blonde in economy class gets up, moves to the first class section and sits down.  The flight attendant watches her do this and asks to see her ticket.  She informs the blonde that since she only paid for economy class, she will have to go sit in the back. The blonde replies, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to Houston and I'm staying right here."

The flight attendant goes into the cockpit and tells the pilot and the co-pilot that there is a blonde sitting in first class that belongs in economy and won't move back to her seat. The co-pilot goes back to the blonde and tries to explain that because she only paid for economy she will have to leave and return to her seat. The blonde replies, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to Houston and I'm staying right here."

The co-pilot tells the pilot that he probably should have the police waiting when they land to arrest this blonde woman who won't listen to reason. The pilot says, "You say she is a blonde?  I'll handle this. I'm married to a blonde. I speak blonde."

He goes back to the blonde and whispers something in her ear, and she says, "Oh, I'm sorry."  And she gets up and goes back to her seat in economy. 

The flight attendant and co-pilot are amazed and asked him what he said to make her move without any fuss. The pilot replies, "I told her first class isn't going to Houston."

The Zen moment is one in which everything feels perfectly balanced. Your state of mind is whatever it is, yet there is an awareness of imperturbable other that is also felt. These two are in harmony, are fused as one, yin and yang, the nature of the universe.

What or who feels this balance, I cannot say. Simply returning one's awareness to it is enough, though. That awareness becomes a meditation in itself, expressible by simple words like

I am I AM.

This balance, this awareness, can also be experienced and expressed through slow, conscious breathing.

breathe in

breathe out
