The Leisurely Life

As students prepare to head home for Easter Break, and I push to finish up my 'to-do' list before this very special weekend within the Christian tradition, I find myself getting busier and busier. It got to the point yesterday afternoon that I became a little frustrated with everything sitting on my desk - an emotion I rarely feel or display.

So last night I looked for a Greenleaf quote that I knew I had seen before..... Here it is:

• Life should be leisurely, not to allow time for loafing or for slowness of pace, but to allow for organization of the optimum life; whenever one finds he or she cannot do the things that are most important for want of time, something is basically wrong with the structure.

A Reflection: Are you accomplishing the things that are most important in your life? If not, what is wrong with the structure(s) to which you belong? What do you need to do to fix it?
