 A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 58 excerpt) | File Type: application/x-download-file | Duration: Unknown

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... narrated by Ian McCrorie 2022 3 minutes 36 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

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... narrated by Ian McCrorie 2022 3 minutes 17 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

 A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 56 excerpt) | File Type: application/x-download-file | Duration: Unknown

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. narrated by Ian McCrorie 2022 4 minutes 29 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

 A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 55 excerpt) | File Type: application/x-download-file | Duration: Unknown

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... narrated by Ian McCrorie 2022 2 minutes 38 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

 A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 54 excerpt) | File Type: application/x-download-file | Duration: Unknown

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. narrated by Ian McCrorie 2022 3 minutes 49 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

 A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 53 excerpt) | File Type: application/x-download-file | Duration: Unknown

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,... narrated by Ian McCrorie 2022 3 minutes 32 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

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... narrated by Ian McCrorie 2022 2 minutes 10 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

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. narrated by Ian McCrorie 2022 2 minutes 41 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

 A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 49 excerpt) | File Type: application/x-download-file | Duration: Unknown

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.... narrated by Ian McCrorie 2022 3 minutes 56 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

 A Lifetime Doing Nothing (Story 50 excerpt) | File Type: application/x-download-file | Duration: Unknown

Story 50 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie . I run almost every day. I don't push myself. I enjoy the sights and especially the smells as I run. I don't wear my glasses for that reason; my astigmatism enhances my sense of smell. I like the mustiness of mud thawing in the early spring and the tang of last night's rain as it evaporates in the first rays of the sun. Running is a kind of physical meditation. I am hyperaware of my breathing and every tweak and twitch in my body. I feel the sensations in my footfall. Like my daily meditation practice,... narrated by Ian McCrorie 2022 3 minutes 23 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

Story 48 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie . The fourth and final noble truth, the prescription for our illness, to continue the medical metaphor, is outlined in eight stages. The path (which is not, you may remember, a path but a wheel) covers everything from your behavior, your occupation, your speech, and your daily practice, right up to your thoughts and understanding.

Story 47 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie . We used to drive to Toronto every Christmas vacation to spend the holidays with my grandmother. It was about 250 miles away, two-lane blacktop all the way.

Story 46 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie . For many years I faithfully sat two hours a day. This was my formal meditation practice. Two hours a day is a lot of meditation, I thought.

Story 45 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie . Without the ability to silently sit alone in a darkened room, we are destined to be a slave to our conditioned mind, reacting to self-imposed habitual preconditions, convinced that everything out there is awesome and everyone else is as happy as kings.

Story 44 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie . Happiness is not something to pursue. Like the truth, happiness too is not out there somewhere. Chasing it is like a dog trying to catch its tail. Happiness has been hijacked by old habit patterns which have convinced us to look for it under the bright lights.
