Engagement
Ooh. Well, that 'activism' riff seemed to make the day go quiite well, think I'll keep it up....and build on it.....so, I will engage in the process of living today.
Thinking about life is not living it. Jane Austen referred in her writing to "the healing waters of action", and she wasn't wrong. Participation in living is the key to feeling a part of the world, valuable, seen, heard and known.
When I withdraw from the world, I withdraw from what nourishes my soul - because the world is of the spirit, not just the physical. Being a part of the process of living is what comprises being, and growing, with spirit.
The many precious times I have of of quiet, and meditation, are not examples of my dropping out of life - rather, they are me dropping into it, contacting it at a deeper level. Withdrawing or hiding would, of coruse, be altogether different - they're my fear-based actions and all too easy for me to slip into!
But participation, hmmmm...... yes. Participation is forward-moving and interactive. It gives my life a lovely feeling of buoyancy and purpose.
I will engage fully in my day today in whatever it is that I do. I will be a participator!
