Dear Q,

Scatman Joe once said “I’d rather be a human being than a human doing.” I couldn’t say it better, myself.

This fast-paced, high-tech world will expect you to get things done,  to multi-task, and to be productive.  It is so pervasive that we work on our laptops, in front of the TV, with a book open beside us, and feel guilty for being unproductive.

Stillness is the key to being.  Feel free to be still.  Remove your self from the physical and enjoy the stillness that you find there.  The more still you are, the more still you will be.   Be conscious.  Be present.  Be aware.  Be still.  Just be.

Love,

Mom
