I'm mostly writing this for Eric and Josh - you know you love it!
I love taking the time to take a good shit. Not because of the physical feeling of doing so, but rather all the enjoyable experiences that go with it. When you sit on the toilet, for a good seven minutes you have nothing in the world to do but just *be*! It's great! Your only task to just sit and let the world flow as it will. I have had so many mindful experiences of reading a good chapter in a book, or having a philosophical conversation in my head... Sometimes even composing a song. I have come to more than one profound observation about the world or myself while taking a dump. Especially the solitary dumps, you know, the ones where you're at work and you seek out the one empty restroom in the basement where no one will disturb you. Those are the best.
