Many years ago one of my teachers said, “…Before Enlightenment chop wood carry water, after Enlightenment, chop wood carry water….”. What’s the difference?
The tasks are the same. The need is the same. What about the frame of mind? Who is chopping the wood? And who is carrying water?
I have also been told that, when you labor, stay awake. Notice the frame of mind you bring to your work. Do you approach your work as if it were a joy? Or do you fill your work with resentment or worry?
Would you like to become more fully present in your day and infuse your work with joy?
If you would, I invite you and the children in your life, to explore some of the FREE ICWIB art activities and videos, because they are a wonderful way to activate your conscious mind and reconnect deeply with the awe and wonder in your life.
