Washing the dishes

"As I stood at the sink washing the dishes, I delightedly captured myself simply BEING.

I was not an hour ahead, I was not an hour behind....I was here....exactly in the moment, simply enjoying the duty of washing dishes...

I took a moment to glance out the window and feel true appreciation of where I was...at home....peaceful, quiet, calm....the grass outside so luscious and green...the creeper on the fence equally lush, however sprouting gorgeous vibrant yellow flowers....

I adoringly thought of my partner and how great a team we are...superbly and dynamically complimentary...fabulous!

I would not want to be anywhere but here...

Here is perfect....here is a gift...

I am grateful.....thank you!"

I enjoyed the simplicity of this excerpt and thought how magnificently it illustrated the principles in one of my favourite books, "The 5 Minute Meditator"

You can find peace, space, beauty and calm in simple, even menial tasks...all you need to do is look at them differently and see the opportunities there are to create tranquility :)

To your dish washing! :)
