One of the challenges of making the transition from a day job to a life's work is creating the texture of the days. For me, every morning has begun to feel like a weekend. I don't feel the urgency to get out of bed and get going. And yet, there are things to be done. The question is.... where to start? There are so many more options now that I don't have to head to an office.
Do I jump headfirst still sleepy into morning meditation, a walk, or my ORBS project? Check my Bberry or ignore it? Send that invoice? Call Fidelity? Take a bath? Tackle that proposal?
It takes a little while to settle into the day. Establishing a routine can be helpful, but I enjoy the slow start. I like waiting for what bubbles to the surface of importance. It's that touch of discomfort until the right thing reveals itself that is difficult. But with practice and patience that process itself will become an essential part of my ever changing daily routine.
I keep loose TO DO lists. I don't so much procrastinate as lay in wait for something to arrive at its natural moment of must be done. And then it is. With surprising ease.
May your day be filled with the Magic Medicine of natural rhythms and the life sonnets that may be composed of them.
