Still-ness

I began yesterday's journal with a "Note to Self."

No rush. No worries. Just do the work.

Take time to pause, breathe, and smile.

It's the weekend.

Time to do things I cannot do during the week.

But in this time of Do-ing, I cannot forget my Be-ing.

Being still,

being silent, and

being present.

This morning, I began my journal as I did yesterday.

I wrote, "Still, no need to rush. Still, no need to worry.

Still, just do the work. And still...pause, breathe, and smile.

Then I wrote the word, "STILL-ness."

As in peace, calm, tranquility, and acceptance.

But also as being disciplined and staying the course.

That "-ness" reminded me of my "/ Full."

I went back and read through it.

I had a couple of thoughts.

One was, "Wow! I haven't changed much."

The other was, "Wow! I've stayed the course."

I look at the similarities between that piece and this one.

Yes, I haven't changed, and I am grateful.

Yes, I haven't changed, and I am seeking stillness.

Doing what I wish to do.

Being who I wish to be.

Still. With great fullness.

A moment of being-ness after the doing-ness.

Still. Grateful.
