I think a big component of my frustration stems from the fact that I used to be able to do this? During the year I was working a 9 to 5, I could come home in the evening and do ten to fifteen minutes in lotus, genuinely not thinking beyond my breath. It was a great divide from the stress of the day to whatever creative things I wanted to accomplish at night. Since being back in school -- nope. Can barely manage a minute.

With Set, I suspect it was more the self-abuse than the actual mind-wandering that irritated Him.

But I shall check out the Purple Elephants. Thank you!
