busy busy...

ever since the clocks changed a few weeks back i feel catapulted into a world of busyness.
all around me is busy busy,
the birds although beautiful in their songs are busy busy.
nature is full on busy busy, slugs particularly.
the road outside seems so busy busy, more than busy usual.
people all around me are busy busy coming out of hibernation.

i note it has created an overwhelm in my system of senses, conflicting with my preferred wintering default.
slow & slower.
intention to pay attention comes from a slowed down pace, at least it does for me. 

the more i pay attention to the affects of this perceived sensory overload & how it activates disharmony within, the more i am aware it cannot possibly serve me in anyway to get caught up in activity beyond my current capabilities. 

for now i am upping my daily practices of meditation/prayer/contemplation in hopes of keeping a middle way balance as we move from one season into the next.

reminding myself everything i need is already inside of me, & if the wintering slow pace of living suits at this time in my life then so be it. to nurture that default setting & not attempt to switch to busy for fear of missing out. anything i act upon from a place of fear is never going to be in my best interests.

​meanwhile i have reached pocket prayerlet #88 which would imply i have been busy busy {despite me declaring otherwise above} and yet it has not felt at all like busy work, but joyful 'in the moment' slow work immersed in the act of creation for no other reason than it fills my heart with joy. 

indeed i cannot even call it work, it is love.

thoughts for prayer:
Mother of All Beings & the Earth,
please show us the way
& open up our hearts today
so we may glimpse you
in everything & everywhere.
thank you for the abundance
of blessings in this day
& the breath in our bodies.

i did spend quite some time making a film to show another offering i have been working on, not sure working is the right word, compiling perhaps, creating even more fitting.

again, let's call it love.
​
however it would seem i have much to learn about the world of mini film making & posting it on here. i think mini mini films are required to upload & share. so back to the drawing board on that one for another day.
