Hi.
You know the saying, "Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water." (I think that's it. And I don't know who said it, but I'm sure one of ya'll do, and then I'll go, "Oh yeah, so and so said it :).
Well, Hubby is more the 'chopper of wood, carrier of water.' So, what does that make me?????
Got thinking about how there really are two basic 'jobs' to life:
You either get the food, warmth
OR
You maintain the food, warmth.
He's the getter, I am the maintainer. Both 'jobs' are worthy, valid, spiritual, blessed, cursed. Sometimes there is a blending of the 'jobs' - it isn't always one or the other, sometimes it's both. But here, in this, it's mainly the same (on the plain, in the rain).
So, I worked it out. This is what I am doing, "Before, during, and after enlightenment, build fire, boil water."
Ah, I like that.
Enjoy you.
