The New Meditation of the Month is HERE.
This year, in particular, it sometimes feels like nothing is happening.
So much is being postponed or canceled, there’s a weird, almost frozen quality to life.
Often, it’s like living in a perpetual state of déjà vu.
And yet…
Somehow my garden never got that memo.
In fact, here’s what happened to the seeds that Belle creatively “transplanted” in April.
Leo, my neighbor’s pup, wasn’t frozen in time either.
Instead between May and September, he completely transformed.
This week, I really enjoyed a New Yorker article––“I Thought I Would Have Accomplished a Lot More Today and Also by the Time I Was Thirty-Five.”
I definitely thought I would have accomplished so much more during the quarantine.
And then I remembered through the fog that I wrote an 8-lesson course for 2021 that’s about 150 pages long.
Of course, many things did NOT happen, as well.
I’ve barely scratched the surface on another writing project, for example.
And even though the fennel, mint, Thai basil, lemongrass, and dandelion bloomed, other herbs like the echinacea and the chamomile were casualties of Belle’s paw prints.
When I feel like things are stagnant, I often find the following perspective oddly comforting.
Here’s the scientific truth:
Things are always moving.
Not only that, they’re also moving incredibly fast.
First, the Earth is spinning around itself at 1,000 miles an hour.
But that’s really nothing.
Our entire planet is actually revolving around the Sun at 66,600 mph.
It doesn’t stop there.
The sun itself traces an orbit in our Milky Way galaxy of about 514,500 mph.
And finally, our entire galaxy is flinging itself towards Andromeda at the staggering rate of 1.3 million miles an hour.
Why don’t we feel any of this?
Astronomers tell us it’s the same thing as being in any moving vehicle.
We just don’t notice our velocity because the speed is constant.
It’s only when there’s a change that we become aware of what’s been happening all along.
That’s just more one reason why I’m grateful to my garden and to Leo.
They keep waking me up to the flow, that things are always moving forward.
And that’s why FLOW is the theme of this month’s meditation HERE.
