I guess i'm another one of those damn newbies, then.
You know, I went to Sainsburys the other day in my shorts and no top and stood over the grapefruit gently rocking backwards and forwards, humming to myself to see how long it took me to get thrown out. But as it happens people seemed quite friendly and genuinely interested in what I was doing. So I told them that it was a Buddhist chant that I had learned the night before from a book about the impact of grapefruit on Tibetan culture.
Slowly but surely people started to join in, even the security guard was down to his grids at one point before the manager came over and told him to get back to work. Unfortunately I think he got the sack when he stayed there, unable to break his own trance like state and return to normality.
After about an hour the humming stopped and some wandered off bemused and embarrassed, realising that there were about 100 people watching us meditate. But others have arranged to go back at the same time next week and do the same thing again.
I don't think I'll go because come on, it's just fucking silly.
Hello.
