  • What is your spiritual colonic?

    I need one badly. In the good old days, I'd drink some mushroom tea and wander around the wilderness, singing and smiling and making sweet love down by the river. Or I'd just spend the day with pals, smoking some herb, tossing a frisbee and getting down with the love vibe we all had going.
    Well, adult responsibility has eradicated such possibilities...I don't think my wife would be too thrilled with me cavorting around the forest high as a kite on psilocybins...besides, I probably couldn't handle it and would end up pulling a Phil Spector and killing someone by accident.
    So what do the more mature and civilized members of our community do to relax?
    I envision Slowwhand polishing giant belt buckles, gaining Zen relaxation from the ritual cleansing. Finbar probably organizes his cookbook collection, alphabetizes his vinyl and then sits down by the fire with a petite glass of port and reads some Anthony Trollope. Hydey probably just strolls outside and beats the snot out of random pedestrians. Horse told me he likes to pull the wings off of insects for relief.
    While all of these activities are great, they don't really speak to me personally.

    What do you do to tune out the world and re-charge your soul?

    Life and death is a grave matter;
    all things pass quickly away.
    Each of you must be completely alert;
    never neglectful, never indulgent.

      Smoke some bud and listen to music in a dark room.

        Camping. I can do what Cal does, and be under the stars while doing.

            Cal, we would love to have you in Texas.
            Come on down, as Bob Barker would say.

              Bust my as$ on free weights after a bad day at work, do a few laps in the pool, hit the sauna, collapse into bed, and sleep like a baby.

                Read books and snack. Maybe a nice afternoon nap, too.

                  I'd love to. The furthest south I've been in the states is Philly.

                    I usually just drive somewhere a few hundred/thousand miles away. Doesn't really matter where.

                      hiking

                      but wine women and song are great too. That is what I do when I can't get out of the city.

                        and reads some Anthony Trollope



                        Oh, the humanity!
                        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                              Computer games. Imagine that.

                              Oh, and alcohol. Lots of alcohol. May not be healthy, but it certainly can tune things out.
