sevā...

last week i thought to vacuum the temple, which in turn became a full on spring clean.

i would like to say i did it in the spirit of sevā {selfless service} but alas, i did not. i witnessed myself begrudgingly cleaning & the 'why me?' track on loop drowning out my spotify playlist.
​even in the witnessing i could not turn it around.

after finishing three days of non-selfless household activities i sat in a heap surveying my surroundings.
​all was calm, all was clean & pretty much all was cleared away aside from the creative chaos on my studio bench. 

my insides felt the same.
calm, clean, & cleared.
​a glorious gift to receive. 
my daughter once wisely told me, "it's quite simple, if you wish to live in a clean & clear space, then you are the only one who can take responsibility to make it happen".

& as another wise guru once told me {& millions of others}, "the word responsibility is two words, response & ability. or more importantly, your ability to how you respond."
 every time i sit in the quiet of the temple & the serenity of the space i count my blessings & so it stands to reason, every time i partake in the daily household activities i have an opportunity to release the resistance to things that i do not want to embrace doing {if i do wish for the outcome} & shift into selfless service gear.
a masterclass in responsibility.

so that is where i am starting.
where truth be known i continually start again each day.
praying that one golden day i will wake up & note the ripple affect has highlighted other areas worthy of selfless service i had been blind to & i will respond with all my abilities gladly.
