Hello good folk,
It’s been a little while since I last posted. It is oddly difficult sometimes to find the quiet times for contemplation. Perhaps it is just me that finds this? Even during these unprecedented times of lockdown, it can still be so easy to find distraction, to find something else to fill your time, to draw your attention. I might even say that this is more true for me at the moment than it has been before. I came to pause and wonder, why is it that I cannot sit still with my thoughts? It can be an uncomfortable place to be – just there with your thoughts. Life, it seems, promotes noise and bustle and upward trajectory – to do well, to do more, to be good, to be better. I feel like sometimes we lose the moments of now – this is me right now, this is what is right now. I’m drawn to an Eckhart Tolle quote: ‘Doing is never enough if you neglect Being’.
Be well
