YEAR OF ZEN: SUMMER: DAY 31

Study - Hipplyte Flandrin

Q: Can you find inner-stillness, in the midst of work.

A: On days where I am feeling overwhelmed I do seek out a place of refuge, both in the world and in myself. Usually I can find this place by turning to a set of simple, but meaningful, tasks. Things like sending out recurring emails or dedicating time to managing my calendar. Sometimes I find this calm by going on a walk or taking the time to reach out to a loved one. And sometimes I find it by looking ahead and planning for adventure.
