As the hard work on "A Wild Tiger's Heart" starts to wind down, leaving only a book trailer and considering a couple of new offerings for this release (namely a hard cover option and an audio book option, both of which people have asked me for over the summer), I have a breathing space for the moment. A slim moment in time when the characters from the last book begin to quiet and sink into a dark corner, but the characters from the next adventure aren't talking to me yet...
Time for meditation, which usually works best outside. One problem with outside at the moment...
I live in Maine. It's snowing. A nice meditation outdoors could mean a couple of body parts being sacrificed to the God of Frostbite.
Maybe I can meditate inside, despite the fact that I need to play music to cover the odd sounds the old farmhouse makes.
That odd "thump thump" as the snow falls off the metal roof onto the ground.
The slight "clink" as a mouse, passing through, knocks two glass objects together in the cabinet.
The occasional odd, high pitched yelp from the Shih Tzu/Pomeranian cross as the Bengal mix cat pranks him yet again, not really hurting the dog, but scaring him yet again. (I almost feel bad for the dog, as I suspect he'll have a heart attack some day from this, but it's so fun to watch the mini-tiger stalk his prey.....)
But I really don't have a nice, long piece of continuous music on any of the media that I have available. I mean, I could use a good, long period to shut down the conscious thought and just drift a while.....
As if on my wavelength, a new acquaintance posts a lovely piece of music:

Over an hour of meditation type music. How very nice! I think I'm going to like this new acquaintance!
The dog's high-pitched yip blends in very nicely, becoming part of the music........
Addendum: After the meditation.
I had been fussing about an introduction to the book in a video "trailer". I managed to realize what I wasn't doing right and finished it. It's up and running here:

As if the Universe was telling me I did the right thing, the book arrived....and the spine is the perfect width.
Alas, there were a couple of minot formatting gaffs, but it will be able to be corrected by the November 30th release date.
Not a bad day in the neighborhood........
