Sometimes I just sit and think and sometimes I just sit.......
Today is one of those days when I’m presently doing just that - ‘just sitting’! It’s actually quite a novel experience for me because so often I’m busy being busy, sometimes good busy, sometimes bad busy, sometimes just simply being busy. A picture of a hamster in a wheel comes to mind. Don’t get me wrong; I enjoy being busy, having work to do, people to see, investigating new projects, catching up with friends. However, what I do find interesting is what I have noticed and observed by ‘just sitting’ every now and again - the quietness of the day, the beautiful pattern made by a tree shredding it’s yellow blossom, the carefree butterfly flitting from flower to flower in the garden, the intricate artwork of a spider’s web glistening with dew in the early morning …
As I ‘just sit’ today I am very much aware of the recent tragic events in Asia – the sadness, the loss and the destruction. I note the efforts going on by many people and countries of the world, trying very hard to alleviate some of that pain, despair and grief by providing money, resources and supplies. It is my hope and prayer that all our contributions regardless of whether they are big or small make a difference. I also think about how privileged we are to live in a country where we have many of the basic necessities – clean water to drink and food to eat. How fortunate are we.
And as I sit considering all of this I appreciate how fortunate I am to have good family and friends who are always willing to help and support me. I value their kindness, their generosity and their love. I value their encouragement and advice when I’ve been exploring new projects. I value their time spent with me helping me to understand when some things were beyond my comprehension!
So, I’d like to invite each of you to take some time out this week and simply ‘just sit’….
Wishing you all health & happiness for 2005.
Mary
