Shot in the Arm

The Zen master told me tonight that I was trying too hard (related to my "sitting," not my art). I thought I'd try a little less hard. I never thought that one is different in the different modes of their life.
This was made in the doctor's office. A dad brought his kid in a few minutes late, but they still took him. The dad said something about sneakin' under the wire just as I put the stylus to my Palm.

2 hell in a hand-basket
I did the drawing for this piece riding in a bumpy U-Haul truck. It was tweaked early the next am. I'm also sharing the photoshop layers for the tweaked piece and a drawing by Simon Deschamps from a few weeks ago.
My wife didn't believe me that
I played the slots. I lost $2.00 &
my jacket stunk of smoke.
My mom
said I was
going 2
hell in
a hand-basket.

Dirty Glasses
My glasses were so
dirty I could not see
the world.
Patanjali, Yoga Sutra, Chapter One: Samadhipadah (the chapter on Samadhi):
1.1 Here begins the authoritative instruction on yoga.
1.2 Yoga is the ability to direct the mind exclusively toward an object and sustain that direction without any distractions [single-pointedness]
1.3 Then the ability to understand the object fully and correctly is apparent.
1.4 [When yoga is absent] The ability to understand the object is simply replaced by the mind’s conception of that object or by a total lack of comprehension.
