Moments
Tired of this 'busyness'. So much to do, so much really Worth doing...but so much to just breathe in and savor that I've been missing.
I finally took morning moments outside on the back patio with coffee and bookjournal in the warm sunnysunsun. *DEEP BREATHS* SOOOOO blissful to just sit, watch, listen and appreciate. The quiet punctuated only by birdsong and birdchatter (those guys can talk! But they do it so Musically.. since I don't understand their language I'm not offended by the gossip;) Watching the activities of robins and cardinals and blue jays..jump, hop, stare...PECK...and...myohmy- GOOD OMEN: the yellow birds of happiness are here!! THREE of them! (I always took these critters to be little messengers of cheer-up joy ever since the one visiting me in Cancun daily when I was being an exhausted nanny).
This to me is heaven. I love people...but I need to balance it with frequent periods of peace, quiet and solitude.
Replenish. Nourish. I think this book: Suburban Safari: A Year on the Lawn would delight me right about now. Gotta keep an eye out for it at the library.
In other realms I'm working in layers...becoming part of/participating in various networks..attending lectures and town meetings....listening and feeling out where pieces of the puzzle fit and amplify...it's fascinating. As in art so in life. Taking different zoom views of the systems and organisms I am a part of and trying to communicate what I see. Imagining and Planting seeds...
