Enlightenment, Observed

A rare occurrence at Vancouver Aquarium today: the sloth moved. About a month ago, I bought a yearly membership because I find the environment relaxing, but on every visit the two sloths have been asleep.

Over the past six months I’ve learned an entire catalog of therapies—transcendental meditation, mindfulness meditation, meaning-centered psychotherapy, CBT, and DBT. If I could just embody the calm, unbothered spirit of the sloth, I’d be perfectly content.
