Trudging the Road of Happy Destiny

Human Doing vs. Being

I have not been on this blog lately and it is because life has crowded out the pleasurable activity of slowing down to express my thoughts and experiences. I feel as if I have gotten sucked into a stream of life that is rushing forward at flood stage. It seems that the activities that nourish my soul are the ones that get crowded out first and this has an insidious effect on the rest of my life. We all have the same 24 hours in a day, yet, lately I have felt as I am hitting the ground running and trying to catch up to that flood stage stream without making any “progress”. I have noticed in the past that my life is never perfectly in balance and when it feels as if it is something comes along and gives me an opportunity to adjust. The work will always be there, the tasks will remain to be mastered, but each precious moment will never return.

Today I will slow down and let my spirit catch up.
