Doing nothing … is
not ‘doing nothing’.

When I was a little girl ‘doing nothing’ came so naturally. I had a few ‘do nothing’ places in which I would
spend time. One of my favorites was a
stand of oak trees that lined the east fence of the 2nd and 3rd
grade playground at Center Street School in El Segundo, California where I grew
up. During school hours the trees were
off limits. However, on weekends I would
go alone to the great old oaks. The great
old oaks were just close enough together that I could climb from tree to tree
without ever putting my feet on the ground.
I do not remember thinking great thoughts. I do not remember fabricating fantasy worlds
(though I was good at this as most children left to their own devices
are). The trees were a place to BE. The hours would fly by as I sat leaning back
into the embrace of the welcoming and protective branches of my oaks. Growing up in a simpler time, the one rule
for this little one was ‘be home when the street lights come on’.
Now, as I enter the time of The Forest Dweller, I am
relearning the art of being NOW yet more deeply. Yes, for years I have given time to prayer
and meditation, however with the demands of making a living and the
distractions of feeding and caring for family and others. those times were
usually allotted specific periods that did not intrude on commitments. Happily, I still have commitments – however –
far less and so …. with joy, I return to
my beloved trees. Unable to climb them
as I once did – yet do I soar among the boughs high.
