[  It's been a few weeks since Meg deservedly kicked his ass and dragged him to a prison cell. He's not really had much to do with his time aside from a little light mediation and gathering his thoughts. Oh and that nice little getaway to Florence the castle recently gave him.

He'd have said thank you but he woke up back n his cell the moment he returned. At least he got to spread his legs a little.

Today however he is back meditating. He's sat on his bed crossed legs with his eyes closed and taking the occasional deep breath. It is helping to keep his mind clear. The negativity and hate he's been gathering recently has started to clear ... at least temporarily. Silva feels a lot more mentally coherent.]

Meditation is such a fascinating and useful art form. It is still as useful today as it was back in the 5th and 6th centuries in Taoist China and Buddhist India.

What other art form can bring such moments of enlightenment and peaceful calm to a person? I personally feel it is something that people should partake in more often. Just take twenty minutes out of the hustle and bustle of your day to sit ... take a deep breath ... and just relax.  It can offer us a place of refuge mentally  where there are no expectations that you might find from work, family or friends, no pressures to weight us down ... just acceptance

You'll be ... amazed at what epiphanies can happen to you when you do.

I dunno about all that meditation crap, but I'll take a few minutes out of my day to ask whether you're meditating on how easy you were to catch or how it felt when I turned your meatsuit all gooey.

Go on. Amaze me.

[hasmommyissues]

Oh it's you.

Yes believe it or not you have been in my thoughts darling. What are you per say? You're not human that's for sure.

Most do tend to go down after two bullets to the chest.

Forever

[putuporshutup]

Ya know? I think I'm gonna let you figure that one out for yourself.

[hasmommyissues]

You know what ... I think I will.

[He'll just be skimming through the journal network.]

It'll be a nice little research exercise ... After all the devil makes work for idle hands!

[putuporshutup]

Yeah, you do that.

[It's not like it's a big secret. Shouldn't take him too long. She snorts at the unintentional pun, but doesn't say anything more.]

[hasmommyissues]

[ It takes him no more then five minutes. He's not stupid just mad after all.]

Oh ... It seems my last little comment was a touch ironic.

[putuporshutup]

Just a dollop.

['Bout time he figured it out.]

[originalcopy]

I hear fishing is supposed to be relaxing.

[hasmommyissues]

Maybe.

The smell might be a little off putting though.

[originalcopy]

How about knitting? You could probably manage a scarf or something by the time it starts snowing.

[hasmommyissues]

Oh that could be delightful.

But chances are I might not get to show my handiwork in public.

[What with him being in prison and all.]

[originalcopy]

Why not, shy?

[Yeah, he has no clue about the prison thing. Sorry man.]

[hasmommyissues]

Well ... Maybe a little.

[ It's all good ... It's not like he's shouting it from the rooftops.]

Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

Really.

So what are you up to now?

[Because she distrusts any of his epiphanies.]

Dictated

[hasmommyissues]

Me? What makes you think I am up to anything?

I am merely making the most of my new home here. You should pop round and visit sometime.

[ Your mistrust is probably justified Katniss.]

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

Because you're breathing.

[She snorted softly.]

To watch you go slowly insane? I've had my fill of human zoos.

Re: Dictated

[hasmommyissues]

Oh honey there is no fear of that ... I told you my mind is like a clear blue ocean now.

Ah wel my doordoor is always open for visitors.

Metaphorically speaking of course.

Re: Dictated

[the_effect_she_has]

The ocean is not exactly safe place to be.

Metaphorically saying that you're properly locked up.

Dictated

[hasmommyissues]

No setting is truly without risk.

But tell me ... Do you feel safer? Knowing where I am?

[ofthursday]

Pressures and obligations don't disappear simply because one's surroundings are quiet.

[Castiel is obviously not good at meditation.]

[Written back]

[hasmommyissues]

Maybe you just have trouble mentally switching off?

[ofthursday]

I don't know what that means.

[hasmommyissues]

... Well that answers that question.

It means to detach ones self from his or her problems, letting go to reach a state of calm.

[ofthursday]

Oh. I would not be very good at that.

[hasmommyissues]

And why is that my new friend?
