Mindlessness...........

Thoughts drift in and out of my consciousness like dragonflies flit and float in the air to the music within. I am aware of what is going on, yet I cannot settle on any one thing to make a clear thought become processed. It is the wonderment of life that I feel so lackadaisical? I want to just be, and to not become. Does that make sense? Isn't their times in our lives that we should not have to focus and push ourselves and constantly do something that accomplishes something else? I know there are women out there who understand what I am saying. Not to leave out the men, but I know that I am women who pushes themselves so much that she wears herself out, stresses herself out, and then ends up forgetting to do half of what needs to be done b/c she is so worried about getting it all done. Some of you identify with this, I know you do. Believe me, I completely understand and sympathize. I know that it helps to find perspective in situations like this. You focus on what needs to be done, make a list, concentrate, and plow through. That is how women of all ages and cultures, and times have done it.

Sometimes however, that inner voice wants to take over and it says to turn off the alarm clock, put on your favorite soothing CD, pull the covers over your head, and relax or sleep. No amount of yoga, or soul searching, or completion of tasks, or organization, or even cleaning can help you more than finding that kind of peace that your inner goddess needs.
