Daily Meditation — 3/19/2022

There will always be something.

A pandemic.
A war.
Fatigue.
Children.
Injuries.
Time changes.

There will always be endless reasons and excuses to not do something.
To not do what you're supposed to be doing.

Does a beaver take a day just because of a spring snow?
Do the birds not harvest seeds and worms just because of a chill wind?
And do the bees sleep in just because the flowers are too far?

No.

What is your body saying? Your mind?
What duties are you abdicating?

You will be rotting in a box in the ground, all but forgotten before you know it — why aren’t you doing what nature requires of you?

You can always find 1000 reasons to not do what you should be doing…
Why can’t you find one reason to do what you should?
