My walk on the beach today was all about silence, solitude and simplicity, which was much welcomed because I’ve been feeling that my time at the cottage has hardly been that. I can’t stop planning, planning all that can or cannot, might or might not, will or will not happen in my life. On the beach I hear myself saying, “You don’t want all that chatter, nor do you want all those plans. Stop it. Be quiet.”
Walking along, I ‘heard” loud and clear that I really do want more silence, solitude and simplicity and that there are ways to claim it. As a start, I have decided to check and respond to my email only twice a day, morning and late afternoon. I have turned down the volume on my phone so I don’t hear the signal every time I get an email. internet access out on the deck, so I can write my blog without that little red ‘you’ve got mail’ number appearing at the bottom of my screen. I’m feeling better already.
This evening I’m looking forward sitting in silence and solitude, and watching a simply spectacular moonrise. It’s scheduled for 5:10 here. Join me.
