The Park is mine
I was in my local common (a sort of park for commoners) this morning, when I came across this sign. Yes it is a lobster claw glove. I am sure it means Nothing … 
… and now back to the zazen parking …

GIGO is a computer acronym. Garbage In, Garbage Out
PUT IN, GET OUT is similar

A great location @ShanJieshi2 hope all will go well there, and you won’t suffer from over-zealous park guardians, persnickety wildlife, or polluting habits of local teens.

If one repeats the same word over and over again, it becomes meaningless gibberish....
But at the risk of becoming monotonal and hypnotic. Think i prefer straight gibberish

Re: Just for fun: the random, useless announcements thread!
I think that my plogging is more of a litter-oriented saunter where the forward momentum becomes conditional to the refuse conditions that I meet.
Here, a formal walking meditation jousts with a concentration exercise.
A continual drawing out and re-sheathing of my pickup stick from its garbage bag carries collieries to some samurai practices while the echoes of a litter searching eye develop habitual twitches far beyond its field of view.
I am reminded of a crazy man I once met, walking by my home in a heavy downpour, happily wearing a full snorkel, mask and flippers that he'd found.
Perhaps I have more in common with him than I thought.

No no, it wasn’t meant to be a joke post, serious meditation practice

Gibberish before vipassana
So one thing I have found is that vipassana can have a rather deadening influence. It’s a good meditation, but it can carry you beyond clarity and liveliness to a place where there is so much peace that liveliness disappears.
One tip I was given was to try five minutes of talking gibberish before starting vipassana. I’ve found it to be very lightening of the mood and the mind, maybe you might find it of benefit.
