I may be broken or broke, but having a life that is stimulating, interesting, engaging, and life-giving begins here:
I simply do not distinguish between work and play. To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.
-Mary Oliver, poet and philosopher
There have been times for most of us when we have made even play into unenjoyable work–when the game was beating us or when the circumstances were not what we had imagined they would be. Ever had a miserable vacation?
Yet, we have also had the power to turn even cleaning toilets into a gift by paying attention to the significance of any moment that we decide to completely inhabit with thinking, moving, seeing, serving, feeling, or merely remembering the unlikelihood of our existence.
