With so many things on my plate it is tempting to wander in thought and scatter myself. Today I find presence, focus. Getting through one task is a major accomplishment. How many things are half done because I anxiously move on to the next? Forgetting to enjoy the tea, rushing through a goodbye with a friend, worry about the unfinished business. Waves are a pattern that have come up recently. Waves of deepening and then resurfacing. Waves of joy and then sudden sadness. Waves of pain followed by greater ease. Waves of movement and stagnation. I tried surfing once and didn't like it. I got tossed around and felt that I had no direction. I would consider trying it again, with lessons. Life waves are ones we must all surf. We do get tossed around but there isn't much more to do than go with it or get better.
Today is day four of the week long cleanse. I'm feeling a bit slow and tired but happy and alive. I went to the hot tubs yesterday and sunbathed and sat by the beach. I got some clothing for Burningman. Today I'll go on a hike in beautiful Nisene Marks.
