Welcome to the Commian podcast. This is Jeff Krasno. Many of you may receive my weekly

Sunday commusing article where I address a breadth of issues from the spiritual to the sociopolitical.

And on occasion, I will also record an audio version of these articles and release it as a bonus

episode. If you would like to receive my weekly article, sign up at onecommon.com. And if you

haven't had enough of me, which seems quite unlikely, follow me on the gram at Jeff Krasno.

I'm very grateful for this podcast, and honestly, I'm going to abuse it for somewhat selfish purposes.

After this past week, perhaps like you, I need a bloody laugh or two.

So I've brewed up a heroic pot of ambition, and I will dive into this exhortation in the hopes that I can stop brooding.

And perhaps for a moment, you can too.

So without further ado, here is this week's commuting, entitled The Middle Way.

Close your eyes.

Sit tall with your back straight. Plant your feet solidly on the ground below you. Take a deep breath in through your nose and hold it until November 3rd, probably longer.

Shut-eye doesn't come easy right now. Thoughts are swinging from branch to branch like a monkey.

That debate debacle bore some semblance to the chatter box in my head,

where two imaginary frenemies incessantly prattle over each other.

Please go to sleep. Why didn't you go to the bathroom before you lay down? It really seemed to be going a lot. God,

maybe you have diabetes or maybe it's a prostate thing. You're such a hypochondriac. Still, you should

probably go see the doctor. But he moved. Yeah, that motherfucker moved. You never really liked him.

And you should find someone on the east side.

Yeah, the east side is much hipper anyways.

Better restaurants.

The west side is so, hmm, Gwyneth.
