I had a friend once
who said that:
"Laziness is next to Godliness."
And you know
and I know
what he meant:
do a little or a lot less,
less effort,
less do-ing
more be-ing
especially on Sunday,
what with even God resting,
at least in the Bible
though maybe She went surfing
or played golf as her rest
who knows?
and for you and me today,
let's play in the fields of easy:
let's do the simple things:
nap
and read
and less computer
(almost none, or all ways none)
and sensing the breathing
and the gravity on our bones
and that's enough
laziness without awareness is
fine
if the mind is empty
and if it's up to its usual chatter
look for the silence behind the chatter
and do a little less
a lot less
and sense the breahing
your breathing
and sense gravity
and
oh yeah,
one more "little thing"
remember that you are alive:
Good.
