I’m sure a TED
Conference is a perfect fit for plenty of people,
but I’m just soaking in all the benefits this type of conference
serves to feed a poet like me. These days, my poems are my work
and my work are my poems. I am like soil on fertilizer.
Every talk spins me into a testimony of thought.
Due to excessive nutrients of my ripe creative canvas
and constant opportunities to have a couple of dozen friends
discuss how we could blissfully and diligently implement Ruth Ann Harnisch‘s
talk and how to find time to experience a few lessons suggested from
“Six Things I Learned During Six Months of Doing Nothing”,
I am anticipating a high return on my goal to experience
long term sustainability of my nurtured spirit.
Here is a short list of the gems I received from Ruth.
They were thoughts I never knew I needed to hear
until the messages resonated enough for me to share them with my pen and paper.
I narrowed it down to a top 3 tailor made message
just for me that appeared to synthesize loud and clear.
1) I can do nothing whenever I want.
Is your time constantly being hijacked by other people?
2) All I want to do is breath and eat.
Imagine giving yourself a permission slip to experience
this sometime in the near future.
3) Try not to
live your life like it’s a habit.
You deserve so much better than these common features of an automatic behavior:
lack of awareness, unintentionality, uncontrollability.
An independent thought:
IF SOMETHING IS NOT WORKING, CHANGE SOMETHING ABOUT WHAT YOU aRe DOING.
