[Oe List ...] Violence of multi-tasking.

[LAURELCG at aol.com]

"To allow oneself to be carried away by a multitude of  conflicting 
concerns, to surrender to too many demands, to commit oneself to too  many projects 
... is to succumb to violence. The frenzy of our activism ...  kills the 
root of inner wisdom which makes work fruitful."
 
I used to have this quote on the wall next to my computer.. I tend to start 
 more than I can finish. It has been helpful to me to  follow ancient 
wisdom  that taught people to start new projects while the moon is waxing.  (Fat 
Tuesday was the 2nd new moon of the year.) Finish as much as possible  
between the full moon and the next new moon. Of course the important work of  
evolution is never really finished.
 
Thanks, Roger,

P.S. I've been working on writing the story of my mother's life. She'll be  
100 July 1, so it's a big project. My dad was a wholesale agent for 
Phillips 66  in the Texas panhandle in the 30's. Do you know if Phillips has  
accessible archives that I might delve into? Thanks.
