A few weeks back, our Human Resources manager suggested I hire someone to do the household chores for me, rather than taking the day off to do them myself. Sure, given the wage I earn that would be possible, but I have a confession to make: I would much rather do them myself, since they give me a meditative stance, a moment to be in the Here and Now.
The weird thing is chores like recycling and dishes and laundry get me in the zone, so to speak.
