So Hum (So What)

One of the Grand-Daddies of all meditations is the “So Hum” one –– “I Am That” –– breathing in on “So” (silently) and exhaling on “hum” (silently).
And that’s all well and good and ancient, but given that this has been one of the roughest weeks I’ve had emotionally in over 15 years … it wasn’t really enough.
Nor was the massage I had that was way too soft (and left me vaguely more tense.)  And all my favorite spas are 3,000 miles away.
What turned things around?
I posted a subset of my conundrums on the Twitter and within seconds the perfect person, a beautiful Twitter angel (someone I’d been thinking about all week saying, “What would X do now?” partially because she has the highest Klout of anyone I know) instantly responded.
And the answer was basically … wait for it …
SEGUE:
In this week of Victories for Marriage Equality, there was of course backlash.
I have to agree with the title of the article on Jezebel, “Nancy Pelosi’s response to Michele Bachmann is the Best Thing Ever.”
What was Pelosi’s response to Bachmann’s idiotic ramblings against gay marriage?
“So What?”
Brilliant!
And that’s what my favorite twitter angel friend said more or less (but in under 140 characters) more or less.
And So … Yes, So Hum –– I Am That, One with the Cosmic Everything–– but more importantly,  in response to several inappropriate emails … “So What?!”
In the end,
So Hum –– Sure, I guess.
So What? –– Finally, advice that’s actually helpful.
