Alan Rickman and his Germans have detailed plans to get through every layer of the safe, until the last one. They work and work and work, and then are stopped. Then the FBI cuts power, and the last layer opens itself.
It is my personal belief that a daily or at least regular spiritual practice of some sort is very useful and important. But I think sometimes playing hooky can actually be enormously beneficial. I said this a few posts ago.
Sometimes doing nothing is what you need. And I don’t mean self consciously “doing nothing”. I mean: hey look, a SQUIRREL!!! I think I need chicken and waffles today. I wonder if they have Seinfeld reruns on Netflix. My dog needs a belly rub. My goodness, what a pretty day!!!
In any event, this is what I personally need sometimes. And I did have chicken and waffles today. Very tasty: salty and sweet. Now I’m going to listen to Green Onions.
The only way to take life seriously is to laugh at it sometimes.
You hear that? It’s laughing too. The airs of this world have many blossoms and many terrors, but it is all interesting.
