Last week, my jabbering reflection shared how there’s too much joy I’m experiencing just being rather than doing. Yesterday, while spending time with my 6-year young grandson, I had an opportunity to suggest he do the same.
He came up to me after suffering from a long one minute from having nothing to do, telling me that he was restless and bored; he wanted to be told of something new to do. I came to his aid with a suggestion and a great youthful example of being rather than doing.
What was it I suggested to my grandson in response to his wanting something to do?
I suggested something seemingly so simple, but perhaps not so for an energetic 6-year young grandson who has yet to master the joy of stillness being.
I suggested he sit down and shut up!
Pax Domini sit semper vobiscum
