But what is work and what is not work? is it work to dig, to carpenter, to plant trees, to fell trees, to ride, to fish, to hunt, to feed chickens, to play the piano, to take photographs, to build a house, to cook, to sew, to trim hats, to mend motor bicycles? all of these things are work to somebody, and all of them are play to somebody. there are in fact very few activities which cannot be classed either as work or play according as you choose to regard them.

Meditation takes discipline, just like learning how to play piano. if you want to learn how to play the piano, it takes more than a few minutes a day, once a while, here and there. if you really want to learn any important skill, whether it is playing piano or meditation, it grows with perseverance, patience, and systematic training.

No, my dog used to gaze at me, paying me the attention i need, the attention required to make a vain person like me understand that, being a dog, he was wasting time, but, with those eyes so much purer than mine, he’d keep on gazing at me with a look that reserved for me alone all his sweet and shaggy life, always near me, never troubling me, and asking nothing.
