Just am.
Submitted by Sherry Richert Belul on Fri, 2011-07-22 12:33
Ever since I returned from my retreat the monastery last week, I've been lying low. Feeling quiet. In a little bubble. I thought and I expected that I would return with some great clarity of purpose and boundless energy to DO things. But actually, I returned with a desire to continue to let myself just be. To just experience. To let life live me. To not push. To not strive. I am metaphorically lying on my back and watching the clouds. That's all. And fortunately for me, very fortunately for me, I am able to do that right now. Thank you, universe. I am so grateful.
