Laziness. Water: Emotions
When you are lazy, it is a negative taste: you simply feel that you have no energy, you simply feel dull; you simply feel sleepy, you simply feel dead. When you are in a state of non-doing then you are full of energy–it is a very positive taste. You have full energy, overflowing. You are radiant, bubbling, vibrating, You are not sleepy, you are perfectly aware. You are not dead–you are tremendously alive….There is a possibility the mind can deceive you: it can rationalize laziness as non-doing. It can say, ″I have become a Zen master,″ or, ″I believe in Tao″–but you are not deceiving anybody else. You will be deceiving only yourself. So be alert.

The comment
This gentleman clearly thinks he′s got it made. He sits in his big over-stuffed chair, wearing his sunglasses, shaded by his umbrella, with his pink slippers and his pina colada in his hand. He doesn′t have the energy to get up and do anything because he thinks he′s done it already. He hasn′t yet turned to see the mirror cracking around him on his right, a sure sign that the place he thinks he′s finally arrived at is about to shatter and dissolve before his very eyes. The message this card brings is that this poolside resort is not your final destination. The journey isn′t over yet, as that white bird flying into the vastness of the sky is trying to show. Your complacency might have arisen from a real sense of achievement, but now it′s time to move on. No matter how fuzzy the slippers, how tasty the pina colada, there are skies upon skies still waiting to be explored.

My take away?
I’m not done with this incarnation. There are more adventures ahead. Don’t be laying about on my cushions. Wake up. Get up. Get dressed. Get going. Life is short and there is still much to do and feel.

I’m feeling the laziness today.
Trying to get some rejuvenation for that.

This is a good day to hunker down here.

A good message, JR — motivation has not been easy, although there’s lots to be done!

I know. Same here. I have to kick myself in the butt some days.

It’s been a nice day thus far. Possible tornados tonight.

Oh, my — safety has many facets, doesn’t it! I hope the tornados leave you alone! Stay safe, stay well!

I am doing the best i can. I feel like an ant on a stick where each end is on fire. One is tornado and the other is Covid.

Haha — I think I’d rather be a gopher — at least I could keep my head down and avoid being whacked every time I looked up (https://slmret.wordpress.com/2020/04/05/gophers/) Take care, and stay securely on that stick until one end is completely normal! — I’ll be the tornado end will let you off first! Stay safe!
