Just in time, this YouTube video found its way into my Facebook today, thus mirroring thoughts I've entertained this past week.
My reflections have been not so much resolutions (as in, "I resolve to ___" ), for past experience has taught me I'll never keep such pseudo-promises.
No. Rather, my musings are more aspirations (as in, "I aim to ___ "), for it seems that more than resolute drive, i need gentle intention that may be reset --- or even re-oriented daily.
That said, here are those aims toward which I am setting my sights:
I aim to:
Be Fully Present in Today... not the shame/regret/guilt of yesterday, nor the fears/expectations/projections of tomorrow... simply right here, right now.
Answer the Knock at my door, inviting in the Ones Who desire to be with me here and now.
Resign from Debate ... ie, mindfully abstain from meandering down Argumentative Lanes or Negative Avenues. (my husband will be so thankful!) Particularly, these areas in which I am choosing to Live and Let Live include those oh-so-inflammatory subjects of church, religion, and politics (although i may, as a function of #1, be allowed the occasional indulgence!).
Live with just a tad more awareness and sensitivity to the body (both individual and corporate) and environment (with all its people, places, and things) that I inhabit... more greenly and serenely, if you will.
Finally, continue those intentions set in years past: Be-Loved, Believe, Speak Truth and Love Well.
To these, I can honestly and whole-heartedly sign my LifeSong in 2011. Amen.
