Chop Wood, Carry Water.
Chop that wood, carry water,
What's the sound of one hand clapping?
Enlightenment, don't know what it is.
Van Morrison.
“If we think we have twenty-four hours to achieve a certain purpose, today will become a means to attain an end. The moment of chopping wood and carrying water is the moment of happiness. We do not need to wait for these chores to be done to be happy. To have happiness in this moment is the spirit of aimlessness. Otherwise, we will run in circles for the rest of our life. We have everything we need to make the present moment the happiest in our life".
