Try this meditation: Imagine that you are the wood and the fire that consumes the wood. First, focus your awareness on the part of you that is the wood.

How I rate songs in iTunes
I never fiddled with iTunes before I bought my iPod 5G in 2010 as my birthday present to myself. I found — and still find — iTunes to be both useful and maddening. Kirk McElhearn’s Take Control of iTunes ebook is a great resource for the music fan who just wants to get things done …
