Premium Member work versus play
Her apathetic attitude toward work Caused many a boss a bit of irk Fervent night lifer, listless all day Many dead end jobs with little pay At her desk she was listless and dull Showed less energy than yesterday’s skull Flash-mobbing and clubbing were her things After midnight, her energy zings...

FUN
It's Christmas season, the merriment season The smell of a fresh season, blooming with love Christ the reason for the season, a song we always sing Singing joyously, with tune so high, rhymes so in tune Fortune favor only the brave, no venture no success All work without play, makes jack a dull boy As we sang all day long, creating...

Premium Member Dividing Work From Play
Dividing work from play, like noting night not day, is useful in a left brain dominant way yet not so good in right and left to-gathering communicating say. In my most real and sacred trust right mind no profound difference I find, not even any healthy reason to distinguish secular and physical work from sacred mental play, cooperative investment from perpetuating multicultural empowerment, communicating humors, dark and light, virtuous polypathic...

Premium Member Therapeutic Work and Play
You mentioned you work with a therapist. Has she encouraged you to incorporate centering exercises and holistic thinking and feeling experiences healing interior and exterior nondualistic climate events in your everyday thinking/feeling mutually non-violent practice? Has she encouraged you to disclose what you can realistically pray for while making and selling automatic rifles? And living cooperatively with those who choose...

Work and Play There is an equality to be observed in what seem as the segments of life.. All are appearances in the present moment.. (Really not a moment but Now outside of time..) Work and play are simply modifications of Now into seeming forms: one form or another but the pleasure and the truth come from the discovery that the same Field or Now underlies and composes all......

Work Vs Play
I ought to be working, earning Not penning poems; pondering About my LORD (and poems) I may wish to share often (Is it really SHARING?) Someone quipped that She couldn't accept sharing Unless the writers had demonstrated their caring I would add, there ought to be serious thought to preparing To see and answer Jesus Christ, Messiah, promised the Jews At then end, around the time...

Premium Member Balancing Work and Play
I was reading Rev. Julian Clifford Jaynes' homily, delivered May of 1919 to the First Unitarian Society in West Newton, Massachusetts, commenting on the 100 years since Channing's Baltimore Sermon. Rev. Jaynes had a son, a second generation Julian Jaynes, who was a rather well published Princeton psychologist with an evolutionary theory of bicameral LeftBrain intelligence emerging from older RightBrain synapticYang/apticYintegral...

Hard Work At Play
Challenging ourselves to be better than the day before Is the work of our fun at play The game requires that we sweat But the boss says it's worth it Motivation in learning and growing with the goal of always winning That's his way by his speeches Those who are willing to enjoy this game with team spirit He feels are worth the paycheck So try this hard work with fun and you'll grow to be more meaningful with appreciation from...

Suffering and depression, repression and suppression, perform monocultural internal work; While interdependent anticipation, empowering ego-sublimation's multicultural enlightenment, comprehensive ecosystemic consciousness, engage polypathic external play. This work and play mutually in/exforms, deep meaning and wide purposed balance, mind with heart with lung's full inhale exhale breath's dynamic economy, panentheistic teleology Feeding and breeding mind/body healthy appetites for Earth-wealthy values across all resonant senses Blending beauty ballast with ballistic wonder, awesome taste with...

Work and Play
When will I ever have time for fun It feels as if it has been a century since I have seen the sun I work all day, Sometimes all night I am so tired of this endless cycle already And it is just begun Will I ever have time again for fun? For smiles, and the sun? They say if you work hard, Than...

Spiraling of Work and Play
Endlessly at play, forthright in work, evolving to the tune of passion eclipsed Build a house with satin bricks to etch a song from roots to mist We all belong Enfolded in rapture In dreams, capture the wandering of the soul- if allowed to breathe To heavens it will soar...
