Is being at peace with your own company the greatest life skill ever?
I remember seeing a movie with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. I believe it was called Life. It wasn't that good of a movie itself but a part of that movie really connected with me.
Eddie & Martin were in a prison-like setting.
At one point their friends, fellow inmates, usually older, just began to actually fade away within a set frame.
Obviously, the film maker was depicting the rapid passage of time.
But those images, those fading images, really affected me.
Sometimes I try to imagine the multidimensional space, or frame, that I occupy at any given time, usually in the gym, and then I just try to imagine me fading away and the space still continues as if I were no longer there.
You really end-up as an exercise in just trying to stop your thoughts.
We ain't going to think our way out of this so I try to effect my being, my perspective of myself.
The result of this exercise seems to be unexpected moments of peace...
