myla and jon kabat-zinn on simplicity

by joshua becker

When sitting, just sit.
When eating, just eat.
When walking, just walk.
When talking, just talk.
When listening, just listen.
When looking, just look.
When touching, just touch.
When thinking, just think.
When playing, just play.
And enjoy the feeling of each moment and each day.

Re: “when listening, just listen” – I could focus all of my energy on this every single day and still come up short! This is a good reminder.

And when sitting and eating and talking, just sit and eat and talk.

I was directed over here from Far Beyond the Stars. He said if I didn’t agree with him to leave. I love my job and will retire soon and do not want to just die! I like it here better already!
