words from a friend

remember the main point is for you to have decompression time — sit in the water walk in woods turn your face to the sun listen to the birds eat some healthy food eat some junk food survey the stars talk trivially with friends avoid a newspaper paddle your canoe write some poems put your feet on the couch nap in the afternoon watch the sunrise watch the sunset count loons you only get ten days don’t squander them the world will turn without you for a bit
