Recently, one of my buddies was headed out to run his errands for the day.. he stopped by to see his father and showed him his list for the afternoon. His father shook his head and seemed exhausted with the idea of trying to get that long list of things accomplished in one afternoon.<BR/><BR/>It makes me laugh, and I reference the incident often.. when I think about my daily do-list and the ultimate procrastination that follows. I work to 'multi-task' in my work area and get all things done that need to be done. I -scan- - as mentioned in the NPR link you have linked.. trying to do what needs to be done- and trying to suppress the rest. AHHH! I love this post. I did not miss the point.. I just resonated with this part of it. Thanks!

I'm so excited to meet different people and experience different cultures. Do you still remember the video about a man dacing all around the world. That touches me a lot.<BR/>I'm busy these days and perhaps even the whole year. Now, every step I walk I just cann't let it slow down.

I very much enjoy them and I appreciate you sharing them. <BR/><BR/> Yes I love these kind of coincidences! You know Christine, I have come to believe that there really is no coincidence and that like mind and hearts/souls that are open to connection can find each other across whatever time and space barriers present. It can be almost like seeing s jeweled toned light in a mist or fog and just heading toward it mentally....I know ...sounds a little strange! I am ok about that! Keep me posted on our travels!!<BR/>LindaLinda S.

Here is the ...Dear Linda,<BR/><BR/>Really nice contemplation! Here is the quote of Rilke that I have on my wall the past couple of weeks. I thought it is what you and Alex was discussing. What a coincidence!<BR/><BR/>"I beg you . . . . to have patience with <BR/>everything unresolved in your heart <BR/>and try to love the questions themselves <BR/>as if they were locked rooms or books <BR/>written in a foreign language. Don’t search <BR/>for the answers, which could not be given you <BR/>now, because you would not be able <BR/>to live them. And the point is, to live <BR/>everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps <BR/>then, some day far in the future, you will gradually <BR/>without ever knowing it, <BR/>live your way into the answers."<BR/>– Rilke <BR/><BR/>All the best,<BR/><BR/>ChristineThe Sea Windhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16622630198909569559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968263444433604011.post-88542385439672056382008-10-14T15:41:00.000-05:002008-10-14T15:41:00.000-05:00LucyThanks for stopping by.
