The Only Path to Serenity
Fill your bowl to the brim and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.[a]
Care about people’s approval
and you will be their prisoner.
Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity.[b]
~Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
(chapter nine, translation by Stephen Mitchell)

I meditate one hour every day, except those days I am too busy. Those days I meditate two hours. ~Gandhi
Comment: To motivate myself to meditate, I ask myself: honestly, can I save more than 20 minutes today by taking 20 minutes to meditate? Can I save more than an hour over the course of the week by taking an hour to meditate?

The stuff I do automatically,
against my conscious intent,
is a fountain of energy
The ultimate surf to be ridden
Which moves me in spite of myself #Poem
Comment: Surfing is a plainer metaphor than most for what is really going on in the world
