NOT RIGHT NOW: FAILS IN MINDFULNESS

Why do I meditate? Why do I need input all the time? Why am I constantly avoiding living in the moment?  These and other non-rhetorical questions are posed as I consider my state of mind in transformative moments of my life from the set of Dead Poets Society, to an ancient village in central Italy to a darkened theatre in Sacramento.
