Day 181: Continuity

The reality of continuity with regard to my writing is that there are fits and starts. Sometimes the busyness of life is simply…well, busy. And though i want to consistently feed a daily practice of writing, sometimes life gently urges me to be more expansive in how i approach it and what i consider to be part of daily practice. For example, i write each and every day, i reflect on issues that i would want to fold into short essays with a little more time, i engage in meaningful conversations that inspire stories in my mind, i sit with Spirit-filled messages that long to live in spaces like these…for others to witness, along with me. And as i sit here, i am reminded that all of this provides the rich hummus for my writing. Though it has been a few days since posting in this space, the work of creation through writing has continued.

I appreciate this reflection today, as i often put pressure on myself to do ‘all the things’ that my mind-body-spirit calls me to do. And then the wisdom of my body raises up with her hands on her hips and sits me down. I am reminded that i don’t have to do all the things everyday. I am reminded that the totality of my life is all the things multiplied across time and space. And that there is time for it all.
