How observant are you?
nandemo: I've heard meditation helps. Haven't tried yet.Your wife sounds understanding. Be glad for that.Ah, your anecdote reminds of this:There is an old mondo in Zen that best describes this state: A novice keeps nagging his master about the time required to experience enlightenment. The master says, "When you came to my rooms last night, on which side of the door did you leave your slippers?" The novice cannot recall. The master says, "When you can tell me which side of the door you left your slippers, you'll attain enlightenment."http://zatma.org/Dharma/zbohy/Literature/AssaultSummit/dhara...
