Re: Quotable Quotes 7

Sometimes when I feel anxiety and panic, I do just little jobs that give me a sense of structure.... you can have minute vacations... and doing just one little constructive thing, like wipe your kitchen table or change the pet water... I think there's a Buddhist saying that is something like... " I draw water... I carry wood..." it's a kind of natural meditation.

Or was that "To do is to be - and to be is to do." ) Ahh... all those smart guys end up saying the same thing...lol
