Here are a few
thoughts for Holy Week/Passover”
- Convenience isn’t always your friend. Make time to take a different (i.e. longer) route to work, to your morning coffee bar, to your appointment with 1/ prospective employer, 2/ loving spouse, 3/ therapist . . .
- Buy some stationery, stamps (both national and global) a better-than-average pen, set your smartphone aside, write a note and mail it, surprising 1/ mom, 2/ your best friend from high school, 3/ a pal waiting to hear from, say, a publisher about a book she’s written, or a woman about a job.
- Log on to YouTube and listen to “Take the Long Way Home,” to wit,“Does it feel that your life’s become a catastrophe?/Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy/When you look through the years and see what you could have been/Oh, what you might have been,/If you’d had more time.”
- Also listen to Neil Young’s “Cripple Creek Ferry.” Repeat.
- Let this be the last list you read all day. Listen to your heart. Listen to your heart some more. Think about what you heard.
- For longer than you thought possible, don’t “do” anything.
