November 30, 2022 A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 59 excerpt)

Story 59 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

I have spent most of my adult life avoiding gainful employment.
I remember telling my guidance counselor at the age of
fourteen that I wanted to be a shepherd. I pictured myself
lazing under a giant oak, my trusty staff at my side, ready to
rescue any wayward sheep. But shepherding was not on his list
of future occupations, so he checked off actuary for me. For
years I thought the two were synonymous.

Story 58 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

I don't do fun. I shun hysteria. I never understood the causal
relationship between indulging in a fun activity and happiness.
Having the bejesus scared out of me on a roller-coaster is
not, in and of itself (as we used to insert into arguments in
Philosophy 101), fun. It is terrifying. The fun can only arise, if
at all, when the ride is...

Story 57 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

One parent-teacher evening, a parent caught me alone at my
desk and asked to see me for a few minutes. She seemed upset
over some perceived injustice or oversight. She started in on
me before she had sat down.

“My Eliza in your grade 6 geography class received a failing
grade on her last test. She had studied very hard for that test.
She is very upset with the mark she got...

Story 56 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

I meditate mostly in my room, but I always meditate in
silence. I remain still. Stillness is both a vehicle to silence and
a byproduct of the same. Ajahn Chah referred to doing nondoing
as a still forest pond. Stillness is also the antonym of
distraction, whereas the conditioned mind is the epitome of
distraction, filled as it is with well-trodden paths of judgment,
impatience, craving, anger, and confusion. The myriad negative
mind states prevent a banana from being seen as simply a
banana.

Story 55 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

On the way to Eungam Station in Seoul lived a tailor and his
wife. He did simple alterations to pants and jackets. His wife did
the measuring and the pinning. They had two large dry-cleaning
machines, also her responsibility, as was the folding. He however
did all the pressing. They both worked slowly. This being my
favorite speed, I could relate. They took great care. They wore
slippers because they lived upstairs. I always wanted a job in
which...

Story 54 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

When I was young, I would spend a few weeks of my summer
holiday at my grandmother’s in Toronto. She lived by herself
in a small apartment in the downtown. She had no television.
She had no games or toys. There were no books at my age
level, let alone comics. I loved it. My mother would catch up
with Grandma. I was left to fend for myself. I was totally free,
unprogrammed, unentrapped. I counted cars. I ran the streets.

Story 53 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

Many years ago, I attended a performance of Aida. This was
a full production and the director wanted to impress. In the
opening scene, he featured a live elephant. The audience seemed
to anticipate the arrival of the elephant more than the two
hours of Verdi that would follow the pachyderm's entrance.
As the curtain parted, there stood the elephant as right as rain,
center stage. The woman seated beside me, unable to contain
herself, shouted,...

Story 52 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

Life naturally simplifies. The many miracles of small things
sidetrack the singular quest for ever greater success and
accomplishments. Life loses its Photoshop luster when you
simply live it. The little voices in your head or your gut may
tell you to go right or left, here or there as they are conditioned.
These are not usually the voices of wisdom but of...

Story 51 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

Even the daily grind can be seen anew. Marcus Aurelius said
it best: “Early in the morning I am rising to do the work of
a human being.” It matters not a jot how you spend your
days, but each one bears the possibility of doing the work of a
human being.

October 30, 2022 A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 49 excerpt)

Story 49 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie
.

Doing non-doing, allowing the suffocating angst in, though
insisting it must sit in the corner and not suck out all the oxygen
in the room, opens up a new way of seeing and experiencing
daily life. It is as if you had been suffering from severe cataracts
before and now your vision is unimpaired. The clouds have
dissipated. The familiar takes on subtle hues and an unfamiliar
clarity, leading one to marvel in the contradiction that while
everything is the same, everything is different....
