Simplifying so there's less to streamline. Those moments of quiet really help us tell the essential apart from the busywork...for the moment, at least. ;) @Matt – Less clock-watching — great advice.

So much of what we do is so inessential, too, that busywork of the trappings of living in go-go-go modern society. Can we simplify? Or do we streamline and hope for the best?

We're so conditioned by society to do the exact opposite. I'm glad you were able to overcome all those years of Type-A training to let yourself breathe and let the retreat peace soak into your spirit a bit. Now, can you come over to my place so that maybe a small amount of that ability will rub off on me? ;o) SO important to give ourselves time…and SO hard to do!
