Zen like experiences

When I went to the acupuncturist clinic on the weekend, I noticed how the office felt when I walked in. It's a very calming place. Almost spa-like in it's atmosphere. I noticed a water fountain in the waiting room. And a wonderful spa-like smell coming from some candles nearby.

So, I decided I wanted to recreate that zen-like experience at home.

Out came a tray, some tealights, and ornamental rocks to build this...

which is sitting on the coffee table...

And then I rescued the water fountain from the garden shed out back -- cleaned all the moss and spider webs off of it -- had "A" monkey with the pump to get it working again -- and voila! Calm soothing sound of bubbling water.

Now, I just need to get some "smelly" candles to complete the experiment. But, the results so far are perfect.
