Zooming in

Fridays are for fence-sitting

Having spent most of my life inhabiting the biggest of big picture thinking, I am contemplating (!) the healing properties of a very small area in which I can live and move, instead.

It’s probably good (occasionally!) to pan out and see a huge view, a long timescape, and think about noble and pressing “causes,” but for me, right now, it’s much better to come back to my own body, feel my feet on the ground, look around me in the here and now, and do the next right thing. Which is usually some form of chores, cooking or cleaning. Sigh.

For any of you who feel confined, constrained, or “stuck,” this might be a reframe that resonates. I hope so, anyway. As usual, there’s no right answer, but there’s lots to think about whichever way you face, on a fence. Happy Friday! Please join me in a meditation on: small stuff.
