Practice in the present

I used to live in the present because my day was filled with so many tasks there was no room for introspection or reflection. Not very peaceful.

And then I stopped.

I assumed the reflection would come, instead I fill my day differently- but still full. I move from one area of responsibility to another, but there’s always a task to fulfill. I want to live my life with documentation in mind, not for the selfie, but for the self reflection.

I want to use the pause for more than ticking through the list. 

So I’m playing. I’m using the pause to make a thing, not just live in a world of ideas. But I’m also doing more than that. I’m playing with making the creation visible- before I even know what it is that I’m creating. And even though I know I need the accountability that comes with making things and making them visible, right now it seems quite the dubious prospect.
