Sipping, spilling and sitting

Silence and stillness continue to be a distant dream, to tell you the truth. I do sit sometimes. I sit several times a week. Sometimes daily, on a good week. But I will say that I notice that my mind is a constant stir. And my body and heart are full to the brim, and spilling.


I am back to sipping coffee, which is a key indicator that I am significantly stirred up.


So I will continue simply sitting. I must. Because it is the wise thing to do.
It is the ONLY thing to do during such a stir.


My friend, Kay, invites small sips of soothing silence. I am off to sit, and sip, for awhile. See you soon.
