Can it, Hippie; There's Work to Do.

A conversation.

Beat it hippie, we gotta job to do.

What do u think happens during work?

I don't care as long as we achieve the objective.

PVT, SQUARE AWAY UR WEAPON
SGT, GET MEN ON THE EDGES

Listen up men, we've been here, we've seen this before. Higher wants this neighborhood cleared and its our job to make it happen.

We are trained and organize. You take care of the guy next to you and we will be fine.

PVT, YOU GOOD?
SGT, ARE COMMS SQUARED AWAY?
LT, TALK TO ME ABOUT RE-SUPPLY.


What now, Hippie?

What are you doing now?

Organizing today and preparing for tomorrow.

How was today?

Nobody died.
How much time before things change?

Any second, but by orders not for 4 hours.

What r u doing now?

Organizing, reporting, readying.

For who?

My troopers, my mission.

Is your leadership essential to mission?

Yes.

How are u recovering yourself?

Food, maybe some sleep.
Can u tell difference between being asleep and awake?

Yes

Would it be useful for u to have an in-between state, one that didn't take you out of the picture but helped u recover some of the alertness and energy that u expended?
Yes

Why?

My job requires me to do a thousand things at once: well. Being better at that would be helpful but Don't sell me that meditation crap, hippie.

Think of it as active recovery, meathead.
Fair enough. What do I do?

Nothing different, you still fall into rhythms only instead of the visualization of fire, think water. Both have ebb and flow, both change.

In active recovery you have an objective just like on mission, you have tools just like on mission, there is a beginning, middle, and end, just like on mission......only instead of being depleted while engaged, u recover. U lets the rapids settle, good in the moment and for when things next get out of control.

This post was guided by the 72st stanza of the Art of Peace, a book written by Morihei Ueshiba
