Nibbles of the beast

Spirit is all around us if we focus our eyes to see, attune our ears to hear.

Things to do
Life wants us to live. A story is related of one quitting a high profile job to paint. Her art was more nourishing-giving (in real life, what nourishes us also gives nourishment or life to others) for her than the stressful paycheck. It flashed in me that people of all kinds of occupations and non occupations live all day long. Some express life, some express money, some other things. All survive. Living is what it is all about. The therapist, the fire fighter, the mechanic, all are engaged in life. Yet living is the thing, and the activities we do are ways of living, things to do to engage with others. Living is the thing. It made my car trip to my appointment a delight. Living is the thing. Live now. With these people. Live this moment.
