A Special Place To Do "Nothing"

9/25/2009

This week we are reading about doing Nothing.  For the past two years I have tried to meditate on and off.  Sometimes I have been successful and it was a wonderful experience.  This summer we went on a short vacation to a Bed and Breakfast that advertised a lake and beautiful gardens.  In reality the lake was a pond and the garden was beautiful but small.  Our room had a large window which overlooked both the lake and the garden.  Each morning I would sit in the window and meditate or read.  It was a wonderful experience which I wanted to recreate when I got home.  In my bedroom I have a large window which overlooks our backyard.  I don't have a lake or even a garden but I do have wonderful trees and some potted flowers.  I also have a chair which looked into the room rather than out the window.  So I turned my chair around so I could look at the tall trees.  What a difference that made.  I now have my own little sanctuary where I can meditate or read and feel very peaceful.  What amazed me is how by just turning my chair around I created a very special space for me.  It is so often the simplest things that can make the biggest difference.  Is there a simple thing you can do to make doing "Nothing" even more special for you?

How delightful and how smart you are!!! Absolutely, turning a chair around to benefit yourself and have the beautiful view. A simple step but one that has such rich benefit!! You've given me something to go away and think about -- how I can make a simple change but make nothing even more valuable.

Looking forward to exploring truth with you this week.

I'm so glad you found what will work for you. I'll think about what simple change(s) I can make to help me find a better nothing. You're right, it's not always the big changes that work best.

Enjoy your week of exploring truth!

How wonderful that this exploration of nothing gave you the idea of creating sanctuary for yourself there in your home!

isn't it lovely that something so simple can open up a world of possibilities? just the movement of a chair created a sanctuary for you. lovely.

Is perspective something? Great thought to turn the chair around and you have a beautiful little sanctuary. Best wishes and much success with Truth.

Hi Ginny,
Thank you for your visit. It sounds like you have created a new path for yourself. In order to climb the mountain, One must take the first step and then continue one step at a time.
