A Circle of Zen – Explaining the Ensō

I was pondering on my next tattoo, mostly because I know exactly what it would mean, but not what would best represent that meaning. I’ve been looking at the enso for quite some time, and stumbling upon this definitely made up my mind that this would be the next ink on me.

The music, the lyrics

Lately, I’ve been listening to a lot of party music.  For those who have come to know me pretty well, I’m not really a fan of club music.  But lately, the lyrics are becoming more meaningful and the beat, more relatable.

Or maybe they always have been, I just never paid attention.

Either way, the music has been giving me the necessary energy to push through midterms and final paper requirements.  It has been a pretty tough first quarter.  There are days when I regret going to school and working full-time at the same time, but then, there are days when I just need a little extra push.

And this is one of those days.

Did that just perk you up too?  What do you often listen to when you need that little extra push?
