The Art of Doing Nothing

[Jules]

Isn’t meditation basically the art of doing nothing?

No, meditation, if done correctly, is active wakefulness.

Doing nothing is leaning back, closing the eyes, and in the stillness and the soft repose,
do nothing but listen to the Angel's whisperings to your mind.
In the silence, may your understandings come.
It is a being alone, with your own soul, and your own heart.
It is beautiful.

Our two cats are past masters at the art of doing nothing. Actually they are doing something, they sleep.

Oh pa-leeze!!! Total catered to little beasts they are. My cats use the litter box and I'm right there to clean it up.

I do like to watch my cats sleep, knowing they are safe and comfortable.

I don't like to brag, but I may be one of the Olympic best at this event, although Gary O' and Mrstime sound like contenders.

Every report card I ever took home said, "Daydreams in class." My college roommate once observed that I was standing staring out the window when she left for class and hadn't moved when she returned.

I had to change when I started working, thank heavens for coffee, but I'm regaining my skill in retirement.

For me it's the night sky. Weather permitting, and sometimes even when cold, i'll stand.outside for a couple of minutes after bringing daughter home from.work.

The nite sky is also one of my doing nothing things.......just looking, and admiring.......so calming.
