After a demanding day, I come home and rest…for approximately three minutes, then I have to run out the door to pick up kids, attend school events, and then cook dinner, clean the house, take care of the pets, and still feel like I am not getting everything done.
If I do perhaps get the chance to sit and unwind, I will typically go fishing at the lake for a while. It is awesome because cell phones don’t work there. The only thing I can think about is fishing. At first it is kind of irritating because I am bored and I like being busy. After about ten minutes though I start to relax and remember that the rest of the natural world exists in a much simpler state than me. I am reminded that peace is always available to us, we just have to accept it on its own terms.
Then I come home and go back to being a dad to five kids and i try to keep those lessons in mind….
