6. Working

Exercise

You sit down and concentrate on your close environment...

The living creatures are in operation,
The plants, the people around you,
They breathe, perceive and work;
Thus they are here, living and working...


You are in harmony with the operation of life,

here and now, close to you.

The things that are made are in operation,
The table, the painting, traces of attention and work. 

You sense that they are wanted and made 

As traces of presence they act on the environment and on you.


You are in resonance with their operation.

An experience by a participant:

“To work with my hands is saved time. I’m happy when I work with my hands and not sitting behind the computer. But after the job I do want to return to working with my head. Manual work to me is re-creation, being busy, so that the devil of the workaholic finds me occupied.”
