This really resonates with me. I ask of myself that each day be important that I may do something of immense value, or if I don’t, I am nearly useless. That each act matters, that I am good. I rarely give myself the opportunity to rest or do “nothing”. But you remind us beautifully that living and seeing is doing much more than nothing. And it isn’t easy. And that is ok too.
Thank you, Francie. We live in a world that emphasizes busyness, multitasking, doing, going, achieving, and more. Stillness, sitting, quiet, and being a witness to the life around you are challenging but possible. Pema Chödrön and Thich Nhat Hanh have been great teachers for me. And Jesus, took a lot of solitude to pray and just "be" with what is.

Living life is never small accomplishment! Thank you for the reminder!
