A great day of early church and now raining and reading.  Lao Tzu, author of the Tao de Ching, a sacred text of the Chinese religion known as Taoism, written 500 BC, is quoted in Sarah Ban Breathnach's Daybook - "naming is the origin of all particular things" and that "mystery and manifestation arise from the same source."  This brought to mind a naming I did shortly before I retired from Clemson in planning my life after work, the second half, (now moved into the final third).  I named my activities, all of them, "play."  I figured I'd worked long enough - 66 years of it, deducting the first 6 before school I guess only 60; still that seemed enough.  So, for more than a dozen years now, I have been "playing."  And that word has made all the difference.  I am playing when I make my bed or mop the floor, or pull weeds; when I sit in my swing chair or lie in my hammock; when I visit my grandkids, read, meditate, teach yoga, or speak to groups--it's all PLAY.  I admit, there are times I have to remind myself that "it's all play."  But not many times anymore.  Most often when decisions are required.  Then I remind myself, that all I can control is the present moment and try to let my subconscious make my decisions.
