Zafu and Zabuton

No, those are not the names of aliens from Outer Space.
They are a meditation mat and seat. I recently got the courage to buy a set.
Mine are dark blue.

For many years people have encouraged me to take up meditation. I am fully aware of its benefits and virtues, so I've never been wary of it. It is a major challenge for me. Sitting still and doing nothing/thinking nothing is antithesis to my ADHD wiring - which is exactly why I want to try it. I could use the balance. I know to go slow/short and not be discouraged by the flood of 'you should be doing something else' thoughts.

I've attempted many interests that burst and fizzle; I hope this one sticks.
