downtime, rinse and repeat

I ate yesterday, why eat again today?
I slept yesterday, why sleep again today?

It's like that with meditation, loving, generosity....gotta repeat.

I went away to the mountains this past weekend. I felt my whole system reboot. Nothing to do but whatever I wanted and I wanted some downtime. All the way downtime. Nothing to get done downtime. Nothing to learn downtime. Nothing to share with anyone downtime. Hours watching hummingbirds downtime. Check out the three buck cross the backyard downtime. Jacuzzi downtime. Meditation (non-contemplative) downtime. Cards with Chad downtime.

Ahhh.

Got back yesterday. Immediately noticed myself looking around the house and thinking of things to get done. Painting. Organizing. Cleaning. Whooaaaaa. I noticed a way I escape but it doesn't really give me full downtime. I'm not really ending up rested. Ah ha. Good information. Sooooo... I need a daily mountain getaway. Turning it all off when at home. And I need to get my house beautious again for serenity.

Putting up a picture of a mountain in my office, too, as a reminder of the wisdom that the world just goes on and on and on. Pace.

Downtime. Rinse and repeat.
