Yesterday, my wife had to spend the night in hospital in case little Wolfie would arrive. Long story short, we had an horrendous day and an exhausting one, and I was home feeling pretty useless. So I decided to do some tidying and washing up. When I said this to my mother, she replied: "
Good idea: washing up is Zen!" That is motherly wisdom for you. And she was right, it did calmed me down and I felt like I was being useful. And it is a new great unknown line.
I hope everything is fine with your wife. Your Mom's great unknown line reminded me of that quotation about the meaning of enlightenment: "Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water."
