CONSUMED

Agatha Nolen March 18, 2015

Today’s question: WHAT HELPS YOU RELAX AND BE FULLY PRESENT IN THE MOMENT?

This is Day 29 of the 5-week Lenten journey with The Society of Saint John the Evangelist and their daily meditation on TIME.

See Br. James Koester on the video (1:35) below, or to leave comments on the Brothers' website, go here. (http://ssje.org/ssje/2015/03/17/play-4-consumed)

Question: WHAT HELPS YOU RELAX AND BE FULLY PRESENT IN THE MOMENT?

Transcript of Video:

Some of the things that I do for play may look like I’m working. I can get completely lost on a nice afternoon in the beehives or, amazingly enough, I love to shovel the chicken coop out. It looks like work, and to a certain extent, it is, but it’s something that I can become completely consumed by and, in a sense, be set on fire by. Now it’s strange to think of shoveling out a chicken coop as setting me on fire. But I can be completely lost. I can completely lose myself in that. And in a funny way, by doing something like that, by getting completely lost, I become completely present to the moment and, I think in that way, become fire or become consumed.

                                                                 -Br. James Koester

Blessings on our journey to re-order time in our lives,
Agatha
