Sometimes, if your machine has been going for some time, working hard, cruft can get in the way and bog things down. At such times, it's worth trying a "cleansing reboot". Clear out your cache. Go back to zero.
I have laid down my Frost
& Hirsch
books. Instead, Kay has got me hooked on a science fiction series. (I'm a sucker for time travel.) I have also picked up an off-hours programming project, and it's been fun to rediscover how much I enjoy recreational coding.

I lay these things down, but not because they are unimportant. The zen warrior knows that if he is too impassioned, if he strikes in anger, then his strength is going into the wrong place and he is less effective. He may inadvertently work against his own cause. To accomplish his objectives, he must rediscover his Center.
