I love this poem. How often do we battle on when a day off is what our body and soul need?

Just saved it and sent it to a friend. We all need to be reminded sometimes. Thanks for posting.

I have lived these sentiments in my life. It helps to hear others have as well!

It's all sacred. While there may be a lot of things you would rather be doing than washing the dishes, see if you can find the sacred in it. A client once shared with me that when she washes dishes she imagines that she is washing the Baby Buddha - what I can only presume is her own variation of the symbolic ritual of bathing the Buddha. In other words, when we bring loving kindness to each gesture, we can make sacred the tasks of daily living.
