Sabbath

It is summertime and things are slowing way down. It is so difficult for me to be still right yet the Universe has arranged it so I have time just for that over the next month or so. There is the inner critic telling me that I am lazy if I spend longer periods in meditation or time in my garden or even concentrated time reading and writing. It is amazing how task oriented we all seem to be because I have a hunch I am not alone in this. I remember as a kid having long lazy summer days just hanging out, riding my bike or curled up with a good book. Life had a simple sweetness to it. So, I make a commitment here not to fill my time up with busy work simply for works sake, rather to take advantage of this time to reconnect with my Spirit, feel the earth under my feet and to do what brings me joy. I will let you know how it is going.
