A colleague of mine is into Zen meditation, and told me the following story. His Zen master emphasized focusing on a single activity. If you are going to eat, then eat. If you are going to read the newspaper, then read the newspaper. One day my friend saw his Zen master at breakfast with a bagel and the Sunday New York Times. When asked, the master responded, when you are going to eat and read the paper, eat and read the paper.

I fish.
