I’ve been swamped with putting on the final touches of my 21 Days to Health & Beyond detox diet and rejuvenation program the past week, and I’m still buried today in last minute details for tomorrow’s launch.
But I do want to share a quick quote here on the blog to keep the cobwebs from gathering too thickly while I’m working.
This quote comes from one of my favorite poets, Theodore Roethke, who wrote…
Being, not doing, is my first joy.
Oh, that’s nice, isn’t it?
And so hard to do these days when most of us aging boomers (and everyone else for that matter) are running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to salvage what we once thought might be some retirement days of rest and relaxation after a life time of hard, brutal, soul-deadening, grind it til you drop working for a living.
Well, I don’t know about you, but later today I’m going to take some time and just be.
If you have a favorite quote from a poet, there’s plenty of space here on the blog to comment and share it, eh?
