(Racing to be Calm)

How was your workout? Came late, left early? No help setting up?
On your swift way to the next appointment?
Wondering what happened to tranquility?

Make your bed close to your desk... And your mate close to your bed...
For the life we choose should allow for the work we choose.
And the work which fulfills us should support and connect with the life which refills us.
One shouldn't rush to TaiChi class...
There is always sufficient time to be pressured and overwhelmed...

Responsible for what we create, we create the rush. We create the overwhelm.
We create the upsets, the headaches and the stress. We engineer the long commutes.
Our choices create the lives we live.

My state, city, town and building of residence -- is a choice.
My commute -- is a choice. My diet -- is a choice.
The atmosphere in my home -- is a choice. The clothing I wear -- a choice.
The way I perceive my life -- is chosen.
The way I respond to a:
* difficult client
* cranky young nephew
* critical check-out girl
* tough driver on the freeway
* angry guy at the coffee bar
        all choices...

It's all Zen, all Tao. It's all a test.
My creation, my responsibility.
Is it yours as well?
Welcome Teacher! Thanks for the lesson!
