Hello folks!

Given that we haven't had a Free Talk Friday thread in the last time, I now take it upon myself to post our Off-topic thread for the weekend. I always enjoyed reading these threads so I don't want this tradition to die.

Here you can post:

  • what's currently happening in your life
  • what you're currently reading, watching or listening to (book, movie and music recommendations)
  • Any cool projects you're working on atm
  • Jokes, Memes and other funny stuff not fitting elsewhere.

So, I hope everyone has fun over here. Stay safe, stay healthy! โœŒ๐Ÿป

though I still try to keep a more formal practice.

As do I. I've been meditating a long time (over 30 years) and have tried several approaches to the practice. I continue to revert to the simplest form, being mindful of breath, but I can use that practice to be mindful of the moment (being "present" in current vernacular) and this can easily be applied to a variety of activities. Freehand sharpening (including razor honing), and straight razor shaving, are among those for me.
