New year thing 1: My free time is my responsibility. I will not delegate it to the internet.
New year thing 2: I get to do this life once. I want to do it all the way.
What is the point
of seeing,
if I’m here
but looking for something else
of tasting, if I eat
but don’t savour the meal
of hearing,
if I listen
without seeking to understand
of touching,
if I close myself off
from the ones I love
of creating,
if I fail to make
what is in my heart
of walking,
if I’m unaware
this Earth is holy ground
?
I have an unfair advantage. It’s easy to notice the ground is holy when you live somewhere as beautiful as I do. Christine took this photo Sunday afternoon at Slimbridge Wetland Centre.
‘I wasn’t looking for what it was I found / myself standing on some holy ground / I couldn’t stand it and I had to sit down
Tomorrow I’ll give you something practical.
Grow slowly
