I am aware this week how many days are snacking days, not feasting days; random moments of need or responsibility or someone elses' crisis. How much of my life is just ditsey minutes strung together by nothing more than a common date or time.
Since I'm a big fan of feasting, the snacking days can leave me feeling hngry for some significant accomplishment. Yet, as with wisdom about money, I must be true to the small as it accumulates into the large.
Rather than give into the scattered texture of time that has bits and pieces of non cohesive activities, i must remember how the overall pattern of those moments creates grand forward motion in my goals and God's dream for me.
Write blog entry-- check!
Off to the next thing.
Love,
Deborah
About Me
- The Social Contemplative
- What does it mean to be a social contemplative? A person who has spent a lot of time reflecting on a very busy life with diverse experiences that have , in spite of herself, yielded a lot of wisdom she wishes to pass on to others. Deborah loves people but recharges her batteries alone. Sitting in the presence of her own life is mandatory. Reflection and centering happen in the midst of the whirl of a populated world. Born on the East Coast, living all her adult life on the West Coast she is a hybrid of cultures. She is a mom, a writer, and a teacher who sings, reads and swims for fun. And yes she is ordained, but don’t hold that against her. She believes we are more than conquerors and most days there’s a smile on her face because she deals with life in real time. She’s a whole lot funnier than this description makes her sound. Lastly, it’s important to know she’s a paper and pencil gal in a digital world.
