Sitting

"Cats sit in the sun.
Dog sits in the grass.
Turtle sits on the rock.
Frog sits on the lily pad.
Why aren't people so smart?"

Sometimes I just want to stop. I think I've said this here before. It's like when we were in school and we had the D.E.A.R. program: Drop Everything And Read. I loved that, but now I'd like to go beyond it, and just give myself permission to "do nothing" for a while.

You may wonder why I use quotation marks. It may be because I know how hard it is to turn off, let go, and just exist a minute. I think it's also, though, because I know that simply by being, and being aware, I can be so much more available than I can be if I stay merely busy.
