This 6 minutes (or thereabouts) that I spent with your words was synchronicity supreme since we just watched a very good documentary last night on the 7 wonders of the Buddha, which has left me thinking about meditation, which I have never mastered with my frothing brain. Never watched Seinfeld, btw.

Just moved that documentary to the top of my list. The BBC one, right? Seinfeld's about the least meditative thing you can do. Neuroticism to the max.

Yes, and the presenter is an historian, Ms. Hughes (wonder if she's related to Robert Hughes the art historian?) The final place she visits is in Hacienda Heights in Los Angeles, which we visited when we lived down there.

Please report back in the case you find an answer.

“Try for a single goddamn second to not connect the present moment to a scene from Seinfeld.” — this a genius line, and also much harder than it seems :)

Thanks Christian

I read your post but had a bit more than two minutes left which gave me more than enough time to text this response and answer the phone to be notified that my auto is still with the mechanic and won’t be ready for pickup today.

It's pretty amazing how much a person can achieve in six minutes if they care to notice. Thanks for reading, Paul. Always appreciate your input.
