The Journey

The habit of ignoring our present moment in favor of another yet to come, leads to a pervasive lack of awareness of the web of life in which we are embedded.

-John Kabot-Zin

These are my circumstances, my lessons
Originating in the domestic, rather than the esoteric.
In doing, not thinking.
Tasks that keep me in the moment
Attending
to home, husband, land,
to that which is broken,
to things that must be done.

At first seeming mundane
It was in the rhythm of doing that I recognized my "work"
patience
diligence
acceptance
This is my quality time.
