Words For The Weeks End 8.27
It’s the end of the week, and every Friday I leave you with words of wisdom, anecdotes, interesting and inspiring, even some thought provoking things I might have read or come across, to ponder. If only to shine a light on simple, natural living, mothering, mamavism, crafting, gardening, sisterhood, children and any other area which might fall into the world of an evolving homemaker. Which we all are doing. All of the time. Evolving, that is…
“The monk in this story is like the rest of us, seeking
wisdom through intellectual inquiry. If we’re not
careful, this is how we approach mindfulness: as
an idea, one we rather like, to elevate our lives with
special contemplative consideration, a method for
making smarter choices and thereby assuring better
outcomes. The problem is that the life before us is the
only life we have. The search for meaning robs our life
of meaning, sending us back to our discursive minds
while right in front of us the laundry piles up.”
