I have not been blogging because I’ve been too busy doing. In order to write about things you have to stop what you’re doing and get it all down on virtual paper and it takes time and things have been good enough that I don’t want to interrupt the flow.
Flow is a bad-ass surrendering to life as it unfolds. It’s what happens when you give in to the moment and let everything else go. It’s living in the truest present you can muster and it resists over-planning. Which isn’t to say I don’t have some bomb happenings on my calender.
Second band practice is tomorrow – whoop whoop!
What this being in the moment/flow thing is for me is taking my down time and letting it unfold organically (sounds mumbo jumbo-ey but just go with it, okay?).
This weekend there’s plenty on my list: a baby visit, garden and house-cleaning, music and a sesh to prepare for band Monday, charting, Farmer’s Market for food, laundry, cleaning my office and cleaning out my car…..
Yesterday with so much to do I hardly knew where to start so I let Jesus take the wheel and turned it all over to Mother Nature and Flow.
Watering, I noticed some sweet little surprises…..like these seeds. I didn’t know the balls on this plant contained seeds but looky here!!
I mean I should have guessed the balls had some kind of function but honestly I was completely surprised. I’ve also been surprised by the artichoke plant growing from the root of the prior artichoke plant. I did not expect this!!
I did the baby visit and cleaned my office and went to the market and then my talented little (big!) patient called and said OMG she forgot to remind me about the Paulson Court Concert and I dropped everything and showed up there because I just love the vibe. See for yourself:
Then I had kind of a loud time playing music and chillaxing in the hot tub.
And that is how you do it!
