Toys

"Teach us to care and not to care; teach us to sit still." -T.S. Eliot Too much of everything, no equanimity, ipods and emails engulfing your brain; snafus and bottlenecks, traffic and tie-ups, endless confusion will drive you insane. Perhaps it would be best to pause for a moment and give up your place to the lean and the mean, to covet silence and calm and simplicity, shun chaos and pressure, they know where you've been! Take refuge in reading, or simply go shopping, have fun with your children and make lots of noise! play ball with your neighbor, take walks in the country and nurture your inner child, play with your toys!
