As promised, Master Buddhapuss.

Oh Zen Master - I am about to embark upon the wonderful world of moving: boxes, tape, packing peanuts, heavy lifting. Do you have any zen-like advice to make this chore easier?
Sincerely, Sherri in St. Louis
Dear Sherri,
Why yes I do have advice. Thanks for asking. Moving provides an excellent opportunity for enhancing karma by ridding oneself of excess possessions. Now is the time for pruning. Look around your present abode and ask, “How many of these items do I use? How many items are never used? Would Buddhapuss enjoy that DVD player more than me? Why am I talking to myself?”
All brilliant comedy aside, Zen cautions against owning unused goods - for the more you possess - the more it possesses you. Items that are not used, are useless and drain your energy levels. So pack only items that represent positive energies, like down comforters and the refrigerator. Lastly, remember moving companies charge by the pound. The lower the weight, the lower the bill.
Best of luck in your new home. Please send pictures.
2005 - The Year of the Buddhapuss,
Master Buddhapuss
