We can drift through life. We can practice life.
It’s a daily thing. I’m no longer young. I don’t have a full-time job answerable to a boss or corporation. But I have daily practice. Meditate, exercise, eat a nutritious breakfast, write, read (maybe practice guitar on a good day).
As the itinerant Chinese Buddhist Layman Pang said:
My daily activities are not unusual,
I’m just naturally in harmony with them.
Grasping nothing, discarding nothing…
Supernatural power and marvelous activity
Drawing water and carrying firewood.
Layman Pang, 740-808
Live in harmony with nature, with others, especially with yourself.
