Life without a mobile phone

If you think you are free from attachment, a good test is to lose your mobile phone!  It isn't the dear little metal and glass thing that you are attached to, it's your own identity, all those contacts stored in there with numbers that you can bring up and touch and speak to.  And what happens to your meditation when you lose a part of your identity is that the mind plays havoc; thinking of ways to find it, to replace it, and what to do while you haven't got it.  Then, the reasonable mind suggests that you should take this opportunity to be without it, to just drop that identity.  Meditate? then take a walk without it before going to Lost Property at Peterborough Station and then the 02 Store.
