Isn't it cool? Weeding and other forms of yard work are my preference for meditation, but also familiar hand work is good for discursive meditation as well. I still stray a lot, though.

I usually use either mowing the lawn (my lawnmower doesn't have an engine) or playing certain types of solitaire that don't take much conscious mind. I'll have to try doing it while working with the scythe, pitchfork, or bull rake this summer.

I just never expected to be able to do it while having a drill buzzing inside my mouth. ;-)
