Navel Gazing

Meditation is a big deal right now. Among some, like Hindus and hippies, it has always been a big deal, but among the Facebook crowd the trend has just began. In my own efforts at meditation, I have discovered that my navel is off-center. It is to the right of midline of my body. That bothers me and I no longer enjoy gazing at it. Who did such a thing? The obstetrician? My mother? God?

Another unanswered question for all eternity, along with who created the universe and why is there air? And I thought meditation was supposed to solve my problems.
