Private Fun

It took me several many years after the Oaqui sent me the text for what t/s/he/y called "The First Concatenation to compile what became the CD "Recess for the Soul."

The First Concatenation, and everything it led me to, is a product of that very delicious, chewable, renewable flavor of fun that I am now calling "private fun." It's based on the observation

"that you live with yourself, talk to yourself, laugh at yourself, surprise yourself, promise yourself, hurt yourself, fool yourself, trick yourself, reward yourself, support yourself, forget yourself, enjoy yourself - that you can be good and bad to yourself, that you can love and hate yourself, that you can blame and forgive yourself, listen to yourself and try to ignore yourself - that you can exercise self restraint, engage in self denial, self abuse, self pity, self aggrandizing - that you can have self, esteem, loathing, pity, regard - that you can feel yourself - that you can feel not yourself - that you can be self assured, self motivated, self cleaning."

It's the kind of fun we get from meditating, pretty much about anything, but especially from meditating about ourselves. Very, very private fun.

Think about it.
