Oh Paradigm!

Have you ever been driving around, cleaning the house, raking the yard, changing a poopy diaper, picking your nose, taking a shower..and thought: hmmm..if I become still, look around, and notice, then maybe I will have a profound moment of clarity? I have. I think about this all the time. I watch for the clarity. I look around. I breathe (1....2.....3.....4.....5...ug-i-was-going-to-count-to-10, but it takes too long) Perhaps if I talk to more people in line behind me at the grocery store. Instead of putting my head down and glancing around their eyes I actually look into them. Connection. Chances to really come in contact with something spectacular are at my fingertips! They might bring me my moment..my paradigm shift. If I'm still enough. If I look around/notice. If I listen. If I keep my head up. If I breathe deeper. If I write in my journal everyday. If if if. And then!

Because you know, we think too much!! Our brains are so cluttered that when snippets of clarity do come fluttering by, they are whisked away by our very breezy brain waves! I think they drown.

I don't know what I'm trying to get across. I think I'm just kind of rambling with what my brain is doing and thinking right now. What I want to do is have a strike against it! Too much thinking causes not enough doing, not enough spur of the moment, not enough aha moments. Today my goal is to quiet down internally a bit here and there. And to not think about not thinking.




Happy Friday! Now go be still.

In the meantime....
I have gone through the kitchen a few times in the last few minutes and kept smelling steak. Mmm. I'm hungry. But why does it smell like steak? I went into the kitchen with my hands on my hips and did an about face. (does that mean I turned around in a circle?)
Aha! (my aha moment i guess) The Old Bay seasoning was dumped out onto the counter! What IS it with the seasonings lately? Anyway. I didn't take a photo of it to put on my blog because if I did then you might think I am a completely neurotic blogger. as in: gosh! does she have to document everything?!
an observation:
I like to write "in the meantime" a lot.
