This last week there were a couple of days when I wondered how I was going to fit in my quiet time - one day I just arrived at my grandson's school a little early to pick him up - knowing that sitting in the car would make me have time. And one day when I was really tired, I just lay down with my feet on the wall and rested with stillness. Occasionally I'd feel the thought - "Don't go to sleep!" because I knew I needed to go pick Marcus up a little later. But I was able to practice with some satisfaction.

This how I found my way to a practice of nothing. I have found the trick to doing nothing is to keep at it and keep trying new ways to make it happen.
