Aha! Maybe that little bit of meditation gives me the temporary 'cave'
I need to retreat from the madness to compose myself!

(Actually I am starting to make sense to myself!)

Of course even the Tibetan Yogi's do their tantric stuff before
stressful thingies...

I don't think meditation is something you leave in the boat?
Or is it?

OR does one have to retreat in a cave for a very long time?

fwiu meditation is akin to buddha's
raft in that once meditation gets you
to a state of total detachment [sic]
there's is no more need for the vehicle.

some can become awake right in the
midst of battle such as arjuna but others
may need a solitary environment in order
to relinquish the raft.
