This is a picture of our cat Roady, doing what he does best. Roady came to us, along with Tika who is featured in my blog post on trust. We rescued them thorough my sister Mary Ellen and her friend Sue. Thank you, as Roady is easily the most popular animal of four in our house, with five of us casting votes.
When I showed this photo to Sue she burst into laughter, and said somewhat enviously, "This is what I try to achieve by meditating and service and love thy neighbor and he's doing it just by lying down!"
Roady's taught us a lot about what should be relatively simple, just relaxing.
Why is that such a challenge in this modern world full of wonders designed to make our work easier and increase our leisure time?
I think it's because the opposite side of the coin that allows us to get more done in a shorter time period has resulted in our doing three times as much in the same amount of time. And that is wearing us out.
So, take a tip from Roady, just relax, do a little more nothing every day. That will make you, and everyone around you, a little more relaxed. |
