Three Minute Spring Break

Two of my friends turn 60 this week. Yeah, Pisces. Tonight is the party for the first one. I found him a small 3-minute hourglass with fine red sand. Seemed fitting somehow. Time slips away and gets shorter as we age, but three minutes is still a long time if you pay attention.

I made him a list of things one could pay attention to for three minutes each. It goes like this:

soft boil an egg; breathe through an asana; kiss your beautiful wife; write ten true things; sing a song; peel three oranges; eat a cupcake; brew a cup of tea; tell a joke; read the newspaper; listen to the birds; make a list of things you can do for three minutes

Next Saturday is the party for the second one turning 60.
