Story 30 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.
When you find yourself in a hole, first stop digging. Trite but
true, when we find ourselves in this predicament, we need to
lay down the activities that led us to be that deep in the hole.
When I found myself in an alcohol-induced hole, I let all the
alcohol-related activities go. These included for a time even
good friends...

Story 29 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.
When the venerable Thai teacher, Ajahn Chah,was asked what technique of meditation he taught, he replied frankly, “I teach frustration.” Doing non-doing can be in itself frustrating, but in the hands of a meditation master it can be nuclear.

Story 28 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

In India they trap monkeys with a bamboo cage. The cage has
a small opening just large enough for the monkey's hand to
slip through. They slide a banana through the hole and wait.
The monkey smells the banana and twists his hand through the
hole and grabs the banana. Success. Or so he thinks, until...

Story 27 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.
My father fought in WW2. This entailed sleeping in drafty and cold English castles on camp cots, followed by living in bivouacs as the regiment made its way from Normandy up the coast to Arnhem in Holland. He suffered from chronic back pain the rest of his life. He had his throat slit by an enemy agent in London,...

June 24, 2022 A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 26 excerpt)
Story 26 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.
Trauma can exact a pernicious hold on our mind. Victims often seek help in the form of group therapy or individual counseling. Members of Alcoholics Anonymous admit to feeling helpless in the face of their inability to overcome their addictions. They speak of themselves as survivors. They are to be commended for facing their trauma, seeing it for what it is.

June 17, 2022 A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 25 excerpt)
Story 25 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.
Mindfulness is very popular these days. Not long ago it made the cover of Time magazine. Library of Congress lists 4,063 titles that contain the word “mindful,” including Mindful Golf and Mindfulness and Murder. And therein lies the rub. The word has been commodified and monetized to such an extent as to obliterate its original meaning.

Story 24 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

As a child, I did not seek out thrills or danger of any kind.
I did not enjoy games or contests or practical jokes. I hated
costume parties. I’d rather go for a walk with my friends or sit
and talk and have tea. Even today, I really don’t need fun.

Story 23 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most
people are never going to die because they are never going to
be born. The potential people who could have been here in my
place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber
the sand grains of Arabia.” So wrote Richard Dawkins in
Unweaving the Rainbow.

Story 22 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

To repeat, all man’s problems stem from an inability to sit
alone in a room in silence. However, Pascal omitted to say
that sitting alone in silence in such a room is not easy. It can
be so difficult, in fact, that it unbalances the mind.

Story 21 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.
Marcus Aurelius, the great Stoic philosopher, makes it clear how important it is to be present: “The longest and shortest lives amount to the same, for the present moment is equal to everyone.” Just one mindful moment is all you need to stand firm against the habitual temptations to engage, to follow, to blindly react to greed, hatred, and delusion.
