Hi Silvia,
I think whats missing from that (**&&^&^^ metaphor...LOL, is resting, chop
wood, rest, carry water, rest....I think when you spend all your time being
busy you never get to truly know how to rest. Even when you're doing so
called leisure activities, theres always an element of avoidance and no rest.
So we can now look forward to a bit of honest wood chopping and a bit of
truly deserving rest.
