Do What You Are Doing
Wednesday, April 15, 2015 19:42
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Do what you are doing when you are doing it.
Prayer is attention, attention is prayer.
Do what you are doing when you are doing it.
When you sit, just sit.
When you eat, just eat.
When you drive, just drive.
When you shower, just shower.
When you talk to a friend, talk to your friend.
Do what you are doing when you are doing it.
God didn’t create light and check his email.
Do what you are doing when you are doing it
And you can pray all day in all ways.
Do what you are doing when you are doing it
And you’re practicing the presence of God.
-Joe Zarantenello
This excellent poem was written by a man I know who runs a retreat center. It requires little commentary from me. This poem perfectly describes mindfulness and Zen. Be where you are and do what you are doing. It’s that simple and it’s that difficult. Amen.
