The water flows maybe we can too
I discovered this wonderful teacher shortly after I uploaded yesterday’s stillness video. This gentle character speaks the words of ‘the stillness’.
I kept getting distracted. I have a book to read for the book group and I have hardly started it. I have also been trying to read ‘The Hobbit’ but each time I pick it up within seconds I set it down to do something.
Not sure why the filter in the dryer needs to be changed after the fifth use. I mean who counts each time they use the dryer? It doesn't seem particular modern that it has to be changed after the fifth use. Anyway, that distracted me. Then that secret compartment in the washing machine that is supposed to be emptied was calling me. I can’t remember the last time I did it which seemed to say, “Well then it is time you did it.” So I did.
Saturday is the wash day so I spent most of the day listening to the sound of laundry. It is a good excuse to wait and read or write. Just seemed yesterday I was distracted by these jobs. Of course, it has got something to do with being in the home more.
I truly appreciate the space I have. It could be a wooden cabin in the forest, it could be a house in the trees, a boat upon the sea, a caravan. It is all of these things in my imagination. It is probably one of the reasons that WFH disturbs me so much. That said, as I keep saying, I am in a process and something new is being created. It's working in me and I am working in it. Perhaps an integration that I have resisted is occurring.
