"I take great joy in the little things" -thought during my sit spot Aug 24th
I'm finally caught up on my readings. It feels nice. Now I can start catching up on all the stuff that I haven't had any time to think about. Though there is still plenty to do in terms of class work and assignments. But it seems more manageable this week.
The little bits of actually getting to sit with people in the most practical class we're in, feels good. That seems like a good sign. Still a bit early to count my ducks though.
Tonight is pizza night. Not that it's a regular thing, but it feels celebratory. Today, after early morning classes, I took care of a bunch of tech-support stuff that needed to get done. I suppose the question for this week is, how much can I catch up on all the non-master's life stuff, during an off week, while staying on top of the school stuff as well?
The quote at the beginning is a reflection on how much I enjoy being present to the little details of nature as I sit outside in the morning. There is so much beauty in a still toad spending the day between the slats of the bench I'm sitting on, the tiny beautiful pink flowers of lady's thumb, or a bug exploring the wood porch planks. There is of course breathtaking beauty in some of the truly wild places on earth, but it can be found in more humble settings, every day.
