Wax on, wax off

One of the massage techniques that I have learned is a friction or rubbing motion for the back that looks an awful lot like "wax on, wax off". So I rented The Karate Kid. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen it since the '80's. I'm having a lot of fun watching it.

Daniel: What belt do you have?
Mr. Miyagi: Canvas. You like. JC Penny $3.98.

Hee!

My meditation teacher is trying to get us to be able to sit without thinking. No thoughts. Our goal is to do it for about 30 seconds or so. It is extremely hard. I keep thinking "no thought" and then "I'm doing it!". The best I can do so far is about 15 seconds (although it's hard to know exactly when you aren't thinking). Watching Mr. Miyagi's calm concentration is inspiring.
