“Being in a hurry. Getting to the next thing without fully entering the thing in front of me. I cannot think of a single advantage I’ve ever gained from being in a hurry. But a thousand broken and missed things, tens of thousands, lie in the wake of all the rushing…Through all that haste I thought I was making up time. I turns out I was throwing it away.” Mark Buchanan as quoted in One Thousand Gifts
Isn’t is easy to get pulled into the frenzy of December? The constant of activity, shopping, parties, programs, the “enjoying” the season. Life gets that way too and isn’t it true that haste does make waste.
I’d love to be better at “fully entering the thing in front of me”. Enjoying moments of life while I have them.
Like right now, I’d love to finish this post with two hands instead of one. But the other is occupied, filled with a hungry babe who stares up at me with tiny new eyes, so I’ll stop and be filled with this moment.
