Remembering one of my early acting teachers, who thought anything that wasn't performance was just doing laundry and buying groceries, and in essence a waste of life.

I always wondered whether that was part of made him such a charming curmudgeon. Which worked for him, but was not a fate I wanted for myself.

Stealing from Jack Kornfield's book, After the Ecstasy, the Laundry, I talk this week about what it is to not disdain all the mundanity of life's activities, but rather to see the magic of creation in them.
