Are we
simply caught up in "busy-ness" without having consciously
made a
choice as to whether or not this is how we want to live our
life?
If we had only one more day to live... would we keep
doing what we are doing?
What about
one week? What about one month?
Then the
question remains... Since we don't know how long we will be here,
how do we
want to spend our time?
In the practice of mindfulness, we
are reminded to take each action consciously.
To eat
consciously, to walk consciously,
to do
everything from a very "present" state of mind.
Perhaps if
we applied mindfulness to our life,
we would
not get caught up in so much busy-busy activities,
but choose
carefully where we apply our time.
