And I bet Hoser knows a thing or two about it. I'm trying to remember if she ever took up Yoga or was it just Pilates? nope - i know nothing. meditating drives me crazy because i can't turn my mind off. i keep thinking that i'm not 'spposed to be thinking. no, for me to relieve stress, i have to do something physical - something i can totally immerse myself in. mowing the lawn with the push mower works, so does running. cleaning is a goodie too ... i can really lose myself in that one. i have to lose the stress, or anger before i can enjoy solitude. i haven't taken up yoga - only pilates and while we start our sessions with some deep breathing in order to prepare ourselves for the workout, there is no meditation involved. good luck in your search clappy. hoser

cg hopper- I'd still like to know your view of it. Do you ever meditate. I suppose you do some variation of it while sailing or directing or whatever. But do you ever just sit and sort of formally meditate? i smoke tobacco, i drink beer, i eat green chile cheeseburgers and pizza. i listen to music, make love and i go sailing... i used to play golf every week. i was raised a christian scientist. i graduated from it and went to college in 1967 where i took philosophy, peyote, lsd and eastern religion. i spent a lot of time on the navajo reservation and used to fly through the clear blue sky, white puffy clouds and the red rock formations of monument valley and canyon de chelly like a thunderbird every day. why would i want to meditate? I'll meditate when I'm dead. -warren zevon
