I TRIED TO MEDITATE, BUT THE FOREST WOULDN’T SHUT UP. 🦶🌲
So I sat cross-legged by the river, trying to get my “inner peace” like humans always brag about. But the forest had other plans. Woodpecker drilling in the background, frogs croaking like a broken choir, and a squirrel dead-aiming acorns at my forehead. Tell me, how’s anyone supposed to find enlightenment with live ammo falling from the trees?
I hummed “Ommmm,” but it came out sounding like a growl. Three hikers panicked, screamed, and bolted like I’d auditioned for a horror flick. One of them dropped his granola bar, which I count as an offering from the universe. But here’s the lesson: waiting for perfect silence is pointless. Life’s noisy, messy, and a little wild. Peace is what you build inside while everything around you is chaos.
So no, I didn’t become a Zen master today. But I walked away calmer, lighter, and with a free snack. If that isn’t spiritual growth, I don’t know what is.
