I have to practice non-judgement of the self in order to embrace inertia, and that in itself is a good practice.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052375488090209961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4729559664676971737.post-6367140611156428272018-09-01T14:10:47.602-04:002018-09-01T14:10:47.602-04:00I rarely go inert as I tend to be type A.

An inertia attack...Emma Springfield is ahead of me. An inertia attack is a friend, a cast-iron excuse for doing bugger-all. A glorious invitation - that must not be rejected - to slip into that other version of yourself where passive contemplation leads to a slackening of the muscles and a beguiling descent into worklessness. Inertia is telling you that you've got it all wrong, that you were not dropped on to this earth to pursue "the trivial round the common task" as the hymn puts it; rather to cherish that which makes you unique: your thoughts, your conclusions, your beliefs, your goodness, your badness. Most of all your potential. Picking up your grandchildren's toys will not add a cubit (or even a nano-cubit) to your intellectual stature; in fact it may dull the sharp eye with which you observe your surroundings.<br /><br />Remember Hamlet:<br /><br /><i>O God, God!<br />How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable<br />Seem to me all the uses of this world!<br />Fie on ’t, ah fie! 'Tis an unweeded garden<br />That grows to seed.</i><br /><br />Keep on repeating stuff and you'll become no more than the plastic wrapping that once offered a two-for-on deal on hamburgers which were sneakily fashioned from horse.
