November 1, 2013 (I was 68)
I never could do hard work so I
did easy work. Hark work had no
purposeful end for me. Easy
work had a reason.
Something I
made would be fun later. A place
I invented could be visited again.
Hard work felt like my life was ending.
The more I did the closer it got.
Hard work required a hiding place.
Sometimes others made hard work
harder. They required an escape-
ownership of even a moment- two
breaths, a task at a distance. Easy
work defined itself, made itself obvious
without mention. Often I found myself
doing easy work with no awareness of
having begun. The tools of easy work
are very light. I improvised ways to
use them. It is hard to be the cause
to produce the correct effect. It is
easy to be the effect that wonders
at the cause. I wonder at the cause.
