Harmony

ByThe Dude
“He who is in harmony with Nature hits the mark without effort and apprehends the truth without thinking.”
~Confucius (paraphrase, Doctrine of the Mean)~

Some things you can’t force. You can study a river for years and still not understand it the way you do standing at its edge for five quiet minutes.

Harmony isn’t something you work yourself into. It’s something you stop working against.

Stand somewhere big enough today — big enough that your problems shrink back down to their actual size. Let it hit you without trying to figure it out.

    “Rest is not idleness.”~John Lubbock~ Saturday doesn’t need a to-do list. It needs permission. Permission to slow down, sit still, and let the week go where it went. The Dude isn’t always good at this either. But he’s trying. Rest isn’t quitting. It’s reloading. The Dude 🐸 Thought for the DayWhat would real rest look…

    “Do the right thing even when no one is watching.”~Unknown~ Nobody saw you do it. You got up anyway. You made the call you’d been putting off. You chose the salad. You bit your tongue when you didn’t have to. You showed up when it would’ve been easy not to. Nobody clapped. Nobody liked it….
