There is no need ..."This does not produce laziness. There is no need to feel guilty."<br /> <br />This is like a foreign language to society- we are constantly bombarded with the messages of, "be more," "do more", "consume more", and if you don't or can't...the message is, "you don't count!"<br /><br />Why have we, as a society, allowed this to be the prevailing message today?<br /><br />"Upon fully realizing the rhythm of rest, your work becomes more meaningful and you find mindfulness and strength to apply to your tasks. And yet even while working, find "rest moments." Stop. Breathe 3 deep breaths. Then continue."<br /><br />There is a reason we are 'not at rest' as a society. Perhaps it must be this way. Perhaps we will wind ourselves up and out of sync so completely that there will be such a void in our disintegration that mindfulness, rhythm, and sacred sequence will again find true meaning and purpose and the cycle will begin anew.<br /><br />I tend to believe that even in chaos there is order...Maybe even Divine Order.

Noticing this, and slowing a bit to enjoy it, brings a feeling of bliss, of all things being just as they should be. <br /><br />Quiet and mindful, this heartbeat is felt, and we begin to dance to it; the delicious experience of being fully alive comes forth.<br /><br />Thank you Trev,<br />MMeredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09432640322896933989noreply@blogger.com
