The Art of Living
This is the philosophy of life for this Faux Farmer.
The Master in the art of living
makes little distinction between
his work and his play,
his labor and his leisure,
his mind and his body,
his education and his recreation,
his love and his religion.
He hardly knows which is which.
He simply pursues his vision of
excellence
in whatever he does,
leaving others to decide
whether he is working or playing.
To him, he is always doing both.
Zen Buddhist text
Maybe that is why I like barns – they are just sitting out there in a beautiful field looking so peaceful and relaxed yet they are always at work providing shelter from the elements for the animals and hay.
Maybe that is why I like the Amish – they are always working and yet they seem so at peace that it appears from a distance to be effortless.
