TEA ANYONE?
I have a special tea party to plan for with my Girl Scouts this coming Friday. I had the great fortune to find a collection of lovely tea cups and saucers at an estate sale last year and will have a delightful time this weekend preparing them for the big event. I have enough sets for each girl and mother to take one home. My heart grows heavy when I think about our sweet Sierra's life situation. Her Mother Jodi who has been fighting Cancer was told by the doctors in December of 2010 to start making "The Necessary Arrangements". In response to this I feel savoring special moments with our loved ones are the most important necessary arrangements.
It was the small things that helped, taken one by one and savoured," English writer Rumer Golden recalls in her mesmeriazing memori of an authentic life. A house with four Rooms. "Make yourself savour them" she told herself when life was not tidy.
Life is not tidy around here today: schedules colliding, needs are conflicting, and the house is strewn iwth real-life refuse, reflecting outwardly the disarray of my mind at this moment. My natural inclination-which I am thwarting with a tremendous act of will-to start cleaning. But if i stop to clean, then I'll interrupt the rhythmn of the day. I really only have a few precious hours to work uninterupted. A few precious hours to hold one thought in my head and follow it word by word to its completion, even if it takes all my day. "There is an old Indian proverb that says that everyone is a house with four rooms, a physical, a mental, an emotional, and a spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room at a time, but unless we go into every room every day, even if only to keep it aired, we are not a complete person.
