Doing nothing takes practice, but it's necessary for sanity. Good for you, Bar. And the photograph is perfection.

A good reminder, Abby. Thank you. And the photo? It was incredible to see that man out there fishing. So perfect and peaceful and contented. I ended up being out there past dark and walking down that path in the absolute dark to get back to my car. Scary! all I could think about were lions, tigers, and bears, and all that. But it was worth it to see that guy fishing in the sunset.

A gift from you to you - perfect! We rush around being responsible and don't take the time to refresh. Good on you!

I like that. A gift from you to you. We forget we can do that, don’t we? I do anyway. Thank you, Bill.

You need do nothing. Doing nothing is sometimes essential for Peace of Mind. I should do more nothing myself.

Hi Laura, Hard for me. Spent time sanding kitchen cabinets this morning while listening to Kristi Tippett, Michelle Alexander and Lucas Johnson and this subject came up in a big way. Worth a listen if you cabinets to sand or another chore like that! (OnBeing is the podcast. May 7th issue)
