If the idea is that of TASK, the thing is work. If the idea is
RELAXATION, the thing is recreation. I have taken the task-idea
into recreation, and soon wearied. I have taken the recreation-
idea into work, and have been obliged to call self to account
under that law of balance or harmony. A boy, for example, is
sawing wood alone: this is work. Neighboring boys join him, and
soon invest the whole place with imagination, all busy sawing,
splitting,--playing. It is the idea--that is, the real thought,
which determines the names we give the two general sets of
activities. Nature will check work-vibrations and restore
recreation-vibrations, FOR A TIME, until harmony of the field is
comparatively restored, if only suggestion use the magic word.
You are now invited to maintain, IN ALL YOUR WORK, THE IDEA OF
HARMONY WITH THE UNIVERSAL FORCES OF NATURE, and the inspiration
of the idea that your WORK IS GOOD and is building your self to
better.
You are invited also to maintain, IN ALL YOUR RECREATION, THE IDEA
OF HARMONY WITH THE UNIVERSAL FORCES and the inspiration of the
thought that YOUR RECREATION IS GOOD and is building your self to
better.
