iamomHave noticed a steady decrease over time in the number of my moods and the variance between them. When I'm awake, I just am, and when I'm asleep, my mind and body are resting so there's nothing to have a mood about, really. The word detachment is not irrelevant to the discussion, but I can't honestly say that I endeavour to be detached about anything per se.
I started taking stock of how much time I spend meditating, though. It's on the scale of hours each day. No matter what I'm working on, I frequently find myself "waking up" from a meditation in the middle of my task, realizing only then that I am in fact doing such-and-such thing. The actions just sort of glide together really nicely I guess, because it doesn't take much effort on my part to play my role.
(This is related to the reason I posted that poll a few weeks ago; I've been interested in investigating what people do with their alone time. Most people have considerable amounts of time to themselves, and while they typically spend that time doing a variety of things, the acts of meditation, relaxation and contemplation are very well represented in that list.)
The conference call with my dad and the whole family went off with out a hitch last night. I dialed in to the call at 1:30 AM my time, less than 10 minutes after walking off the stage from our gig. I pretended that I was alone on the line and then everybody jumped in and sang Happy Birthday. Because it was so late in the evening by then, he had started to wonder why nobody from the family had called him yet, so I think it was a good surprise. Not nearly as good as the surprise 21st birthday party he threw for me right after my jaw surgery, but a surprise nonetheless.
Jaw surgery. Now that's a great way to lose some weight.
