Work Calmly

 

I am discovering the advantages of working calmly.

I do get excited about my projects, but the ones that run deep are very, very calm.

Aligning myself with the best of who I am directs a completely different feeling from running down a list of things to do.

When I dedicate myself to the deep, meditative calming work, it sets up each element of the day in a perfectly orderly progression, even if it looks like I am running from one thing to the next.

I sometimes sit down for the meditative work after I realize I am just running around.

Then, no matter how much time I spend there, and it may be hours, the rest of the work gets done.

I appreciate the discovery of how to live and work calmly, but that is not my purpose in doing the meditative work.

My purpose is simply to spend time being.

Once I made that my priority, the rest simply got done.

Now I know to go back to just being.

Whatever comes from that works.
