Do the "Nothing!"

Aloha Greetings!
Wanna put your feet in da sand,
and do nothing with me for a while?
click on photos lazilyThe only thing wrong with growing and healing
is that it can look like
"nothing."


No tantrum, no impatience, no saddness,
no bottomless pain;
Especially to the drama-addicted and over stimulated.



Yup, being balanced & happy can look like
a whole lotta "nothing"
to some.




I guess it's kind like
the sound of one hand clapping!






Applause to
YOU
for joining us today.
Now go do
"Nothing!"
L O L
A L O H A HA HA :)

    I was a woolgatherer as a child. I remember my aunt saying once that at least I was doing something, in some photograph. (Hello. Future poet.) Now I have two speeds. Full speed ahead and stopped, and I perform both excellently!

    "Do The Don't" reminds me of a dance tune Tim Hardin once did (yes, Tim Hardin) called "Do The Do." It has a nice call-and-response in it. Maybe they should have worked in a few "do the don'ts"!

    we should all carry emergency packets of sand in our pockets to do nothing when the something becomes overwhelming. The toes will thank us for it.

    I wish I could do the nothing, but Mondays through Thursdays are my "do the something" days. I'll join you in the sand on Friday.

    Love the "grass" skirts Cloudia - and the idea of doing nothing. Your post always cheers me up, thank you for that.

    It is a kind of do-nothing day here today. Big storm outside, lots of rain, wind, and spray from the lake. A great day to stay indoors, drink coffee and blog! Cheers!

    I've actually got a head start on doing nothing today. The house is almost too too quiet.

    There is actually a book in my hands, asking to explain the sound of one hand clapping - what a nice way to spend time, searching for the other one.

    A week filled with happyness for you.

    Nothing sounds like something we all need to do at times, a time to catch up and smell the roses. That little boy's expression was a hoot.

    It's been so long.
    Do nothing is the power of NATURE. I am pretending a taoist!?

    Aloha!

    Maybe that's why I'm balanced and happy! I get a whole lot of nothing done.

    Oh, da sand, da sand! I wish. Sigh.

    "The only thing wrong with growing and healing
    is that it can look like
    "nothing."

    I love that. I am looking forward to more doses of "nothing". And I do try to enjoy those nothing times when I get the chance.

    Thanks for the wonderful affirmations!

    Love,
    Gina
    Aloha! I say it all the time now! :-D
