Moment by Moment

The last two weekends have found me in my garden catching up on long over due care for the "children" there. I had a big moment of being in resistance and thinking... all I do is work all the time. What? Here I am in my garden doing what I love and Blah Blah Blah. In the loop, complaining. Time for a new loop. I'm ready to pull my little red wagon some where else this rut is getting deep.

Finally I settled in to being in the moment. Not worrying about what else I needed to do or could do with my precious time. I let go of time and got into the rhythm of planting and caring for the flowers, seeing them and imagining the beds in their fullness.

Catherine Anne and I had a short time together for breakfast on Sat. We talked about stepping up our efforts to care for ourselves. It's not the first time we've talked about contracting with ourselves and each other. So this time how do we make it work we wondered.

I think the answer is Moment by Moment. Willing to be with the feelings of the moment. Willing to be present in the moment. Willing to be conscious. I go in and out of consciousness. I wonder what it would be like to make a decision to stay fully conscious and present for a whole day, or even half a day. Like looking through the lens of a camera, totally focused and still seeing new creation of art. Elevating each moment to it's perfection as an art form.

This week I am going to practice staying in the moment, fully present. Any one want to join me? The synergy of our group is quite powerful. I would love the support. The energy coming into the planet now is also quite powerful but then............ so are we.
