Or maybe I need to find the order in the chaos and love my life anyway... sounds like a much better plan to me!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://laughinlalo.blogspot.com/">http://laughinlalo.blogspot.com/</a>walking stick farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04186920857084128970noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1860504468382140321.post-73330292447916026672009-06-11T15:20:00.000-07:002009-06-11T15:41:27.804-07:00stawberries!<div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346200342495559474" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHT9mwHWUIld1_v7UBPCndpAAMZylGo3ICTYiPXvGuGPb_A-HK6Dq9UhIlLs8qqEfVSKrhqMOtgFedswp6utMhH0W1t7wTh4ZLLteSFvVApx6gtoHkdzat6eh46bWW4UlEn9Bk8zHh4zQL/s320/P6100014.JPG" /><br /><div><br /></div><div>From Garden....<br /></div><div><br /></div><div></div><div><br /></div><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346200699405566034" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1CpfYtRoo6FjCmfeCWyysJ6m6pWF61sjcNph9ceZP_hScow4LwY43v3Yqmo3ykGf6IF8VAe3T-H1UoPvUi37FpYsWZgXtHoWbHsbMNOhXEyMhPd-1QFbc7MNTKVVY55oGVOr5ZZVHx5E3/s320/P6100003.JPG" /><br /><div>To Table...</div><br /><br /><div></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346201975556216402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrfCLTEc6LLDHFln6_hOmgM760WENtUA8ZCaHx-PGEXYWIwPT8n1KBMgzFbOACoy5DAzsUq9QYSBguPGO0YQQF-h4Hw3qko_F3zKJTqWAaQ2M8lyFZ8x0e596Ik5pfHJiz0pwdjpSIJaru/s320/P6100010.JPG" /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>To waffle!<br /><div></div><div></div><div><br /><div> </div></div>walking stick farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04186920857084128970noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1860504468382140321.post-16017801291100551772009-06-11T10:21:00.000-07:002009-06-11T10:47:42.813-07:00fresh starts, clean floorsI've always had a hard time keeping on top of anything that requires maintenence. Lately I've been realizing how much I crave routine, and feeling like I have time for the simple basics of life; reading a book, weeding my garden, learning how to bake bread. The more I think about the disorganization I feel in my life, and how it relates to the disorganization in my head, the more I feel compelled to make domestic endeavors a spiritual practice.<br /><br /><br /><br />"Some, like me, are just beginning to guess at the powerful religion of ordinary life, a spirituality of freshly mopped floors, and stacked dishes and cloths blowing on the line" Adair Lara<br /><br /><br /><br />This morning I began with dishwashing and floor mopping, metaphorically giving myself a clean slate for the day. When I approach housecleaning, or any chore, this way, it gives me a chance to clear my mind too, gives room for new thoughts. It becomes an exercise in mindfullness rather than a chore. I like it. With such a small house, it's especially important to maintain on a daily basis. it also males me think about other things that need maintenence on a daily basis, like relationships. Leave them alone for too long and you're left with a dusty stack of intentions. So here's to dishrags, mops, lawnmowers and all instruments of spacial and mental clarity.walking stick farmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04186920857084128970noreply@blogger.com2
