Doing Unrequired Things

Birds are really busy singing this morning.  Many different voices, few of which I recognize - but did hear the owl.  Always a nice voice to hear.  Yesterday was a lovely one - so much so I feel energized this morning and yet totally relaxed and eager to continue this feeling of "I'm OK" just as I am.  So often I'm DOING something to accomplish something - today I'll do some more of just being.  And do the little unrequired things - like repotting the lovely fern Pam gave me which has overgrown its surroundings.  Like pulling a few weeds.  Perhaps studying a bit more of "Infinite Self" which Frank recommended to me and kept me absorbed all day long yesterday.  This morning I did a recommended practice of moving rocks from one place to another and then moving them back!!!!  Ask and I'll tell you what that is designed to do for me….Right now I'm enjoying the beauty of the stillness of he Pond, the sound of birds chirping, a turtle jumping into the Pond with a big plopping sound, a fish jumping on the other side, the sun rising, almost over the trees, but not yet.  My tea.  The joy of knowing I am not required to do or be until 2:00 pm when a man comes to look at the dam leak - almost six hours of freedom.  How blessed I am!
