Something that I have learned about myself over the years is that I am a "do"er not a "be" er. I don't know how to just be, I always have to do. Most of the time this suits me just fine, but as in the case of the assignment for this week...not so much. I hate meditation, it is like time out for me. If I am going to meditate or just quiet my mind, I have to do it in a way that lets me "do" without thinking too much. I LOVE to walk labrynths. I am convinces that they were put on this earth just for me. There is one near my home and anyone is welcome to use it if you bring a rock to contribute to creating the next one. I have always wanted to build one in my own yard, imagining that the building is just as contemplative as walking one, but there is never enough time. So, I rake pine needles on my acre of land instead-it is another "do"ing activity that puts me in a meditative state.
