Friday's Feast: 151*
Appetizer: What is your favorite fruit?
This is a really tough question as I love fruit. Bananas are probably my favorite, but I could also make a case for pears, apples (braeburns or granny smith), or a crunchy peach (crunchy, like an apple. I don't like the consistency of smushy peaches).
Soup: Who is someone you consider as a great role model?
Obi-wan Kenobi. Seriously. Someday, I'll spend an hour or so and put together an essay on why I admire Kenobi so much. He's spiritual, decisive, reflexive, and fallible.
Salad: If you were to spend one night anywhere within an hour of your home, where would you choose?
In a corn or soybean field, most likely. There's really not much within an hour. We could camp at any number of riverside campgrounds.
Main Course: Name something you do too often.
Complain. I've become the most negative people I know. Not sure what that's about but it needs to change.
Dessert: Fill in the blank: I really like ___________ because ____________.
I really like running because it's the only time I stop thinking.

I agree with your main course.
I'd been looking over my blog and a number of my messageboard posts in the last few weeks, and boy have I been a downer. :)
And cool about Obi-wan. :)
Ah, a runner. I'm a walker. Hello! *wave*
Oh yeah, I'd be right there for the camping by the riverside - we LOVE to camp.
Obi-wan Kenobi, eh? Interesting choice. *grin*
And stop with the pessimistic attitude! Think positive! :-)
Interesting...someone at work asked me the other day, "If you were any Star Wars character, which one would you be?" And I answered, "Ben Kenobi. The Sir Alec Guinness one, not the one from the prequels."
One of the points about meditation is to clear your mind. It give your conscious mind a rest and allows your your real intellect - the subconscious - a chance to sort through things.
I used to like to walk to meditate. I have a great book - "Wanderlust: A History of Walking" by Rebecca Solnit. You can buy it at your usual outlets - or get my old copy from Tess.
I have to mediate while driving these days. I much prefer walking - you go further. I bet old Ben Kenobi did a lot of walking our beyond the dune sea.
"Obi-wan Kenobi. Seriously. Someday, I'll spend an hour or so and put together an essay on why I admire Kenobi so much. He's spiritual, decisive, reflexive, and fallible."
...and if youre the one from the new trilogy, really REALLY hot on top of all that ;D
