Last year I took a class from a woman who is a *doer*. She
has about 10 projects on the go all the time and accomplishes
almost all of them one after the other, and while I felt a great
deal of admiration for her, I
couldn't help but also feel exhausted just watching her. We live
in a world where *doing* is considered much more important than
just *being*. We place much more importance on what a person
*has to SHOW for themselves*, that what a person IS!
Sometimes it is fun to get things done and sometimes it is
not. Sometimes it just feels right to do - NOTHING!
When I was sick a few weeks ago this became so clear to
me. I had no choice but to just lie down and rest and do nothing
and turn everything over to a higher power and part of me felt
so
relieved. Ironically, things worked out just fine without me
being there trying to make something happen.
I guess the point I am trying to make this morning is - do
whatever you feel called to do. If that means cleaning out your
cupboards then do that, if it means setting yourself some goals
for this new year, then by all means, get out your pen and paper
and make your list. You may find yourself listing as one of
your goals: time for yourself, time to just sit and daydream,
time to listen to the birds sing and watch the flowers grow,
time to walk in a forest and listen to the message in a bubbling
stream, time to delight in a
beautiful sunrise and mellow in the setting sun, time to be alone
and remember your most cherished moments, time to curl up with
a good book and a hot cup of tea.
Dear Heart, my wish for you this New Year is that you take
the time to laugh, and dream, and cry, and plan, and sing, and
dance, and savor, and devour, and watch, and meditate, and contemplate,
and remember, and forget, and allow and wish and just BE - the
beautiful, wonderful, resourceful, brilliant, spectacular being
you already are.
