Comments on: The Shaking Man. http://absurdistry.wordpress.com/2007/12/05/the-shaking-man/ Absurdistry- 1: the art of living in a society that has become irrational, incongruous and in constant conflict with the rest of the universe. 2: a philosophy based on the belief that the individual who is in conflict with the society in which he or she lives can liberate them selves from that society through the practice of absurdistry.

Mind is the chief and takes the lead. If the mind is clear, whatever you do or say will bring happiness that will follow you like a shadow." -thank you for the reminder.

But yes...the long term gains of mindfulness are much greater. “All things have the nature of mind. Mind is the chief and takes the lead.
