Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.
Mahatma Gandhi (1869 - 1948)
Abby Scuito shut the door to her lab and tried to lock it. Maybe she should do this more often, as the lock was stuff and unused to being utilized.
Then again, she rarely wanted to shut any potential visitors out. She had so few of them and they were so kind to her, and normally she was left all alone in her lab with her babies and Bert, and people wondered why she had started talking to them. But today she needed an hour or so of peace, and it was not going to work if Gibbs thought he might have a result or Tony wanted to plot and either of the men burst into her lab.
She admitted there was the small possibility that they would panic on seeing a locked door, but she would deal with that if it came to it.
Door finally impenetrable, she switched her music off and settled in the far corner of her lab. The incense was burning, though she didn't really need it. But it helped to relax her mind and that was the plan.
Ziva had been teaching her how to meditate, and now it was time to try it for herself.
In the peaceful lab, Abby soon found herself relaxing. This had been a very good idea.
