Right now, I’m wondering how yesterday (a day of mindless nothingness) could be a gift to anyone (myself included). I spent the day basically doing nothing—a practice I often recommend for others.
For the past week or so I’ve found myself in one of those lovely liminal spaces where I get to really slow down and simply enjoy what arises. While I try to practice this on a regular basis anyway, there is a big difference when I don’t have external deadlines or commitments on my calendar.
Shy. Painfully shy… if you’ve lived in this state of being then you know exactly what I’m talking about… that urge to open your mouth and say something—anything—to fit in or be seen while all the while your inner voice is telling you to Shut up. Stay silent. You’ll never fit in and if they see you, well… they’ll only laugh.
