Work?

It takes up so much of our day, doesn't it? And not only do we work, we have to 'dress for work', commute to work, hold meetings about how to 'develop our careers' or 'grow our business', and then we have to decide what we're going to do with our savings so that, when we finally stop work, we won't have to work.

The productive part of work seems to diminish while the overlay of busy activity increases.

This is the real problem of 'work' - it persuades us to accept radical curtailments of our mental freedoms, and we willingly agree. I know I do, all too often.

I'd like to get back to the core of work, without the busy stuff. Do we even think this is possible? Rushing around may give us the illusion of life, but we know that is not the center of who we are.
