Nothing More, Nothing Less

 

 

 

I just got a step counter on my phone. It says I’ve done around 4,000 steps today. I’m slightly appalled by that. All those steps I wasn’t really paying attention to. THOUSANDS of them. Counting your steps is meant to be a way to become more active, but I don’t want all these useless steps. I want steps that count, not just a big count of steps. I do want to lose weight and become more fit though, so I will put up with all those steps. And hopefully it will encourage me to do that, just by counting. I’ll see how it goes...

(Hm… If you “walk lightly upon the earth,” do you do less steps?)

Less is more, more or less…

Is meditation doing more, or doing less? How can I do more in meditation: would that be doing more less, or less more? … I mean by ‘more less’ = doing a lot more of doing less, or somehow making the less bigger? and ‘less more’ = doing less of silly things getting in the way, such as the usual “thinking of what to have for dinner” and other such intrusions into the meditative process.

So, both, probably – both more less, and less more.

But enough jokery, I really would like to do more. Just sitting there doing nothing is obviously not the point. How do I go further and further into nothing?

Maybe spend time with people who’ve been there before.
