I heard this phrase on the radio. It was by an author. He had a new novel out which was a satire on the Twitter generation. In his book’s world, no one reads books, Schools teach speed reading. It mocked Facebook, Twitter etc pretty roundly, but my favorite phrase that the guy said was something like, “I think we are the last of the Rumination Generation, we like to ponder over what we’ve read”. I so concur!!
Speaking of Rumination, I am listening to Pema Chodron. I didn’t like the CD initially, esp part 1 of 3, but now I’m so into it. Really helps with the rumination!! She said this beautiful thing – when you are meditating and your mind wanders and you pull it back, don’t fee like you’ve lost all that time when your mind was wandering. That moment when you caught yourself, you were in the now. And that’s something to be happy about.
My eye blister might be coming back!!
