Being and Doing
Being and Doing
Such a dance is
Ever going on between being and doing
It’s not an either or.
Like most things,
I think it’s an integration and balance
We are striving for.
Life requires we get things done
Not just sit on the sidelines.
Can we, in our doing, our busyness,
also
Hold the space in our minds and day
To appreciate our being?
Or are we continually focused on running from task to task
Feeling the pressures,
Going without the pause, without observing,
Forgetting the joy and why of life
Perhaps only momentarily or
Perhaps for the majority of time.
Our dissatisfaction in the midst of doing
Stems from a disassociation of being.
The doing of feeding the soul is vital
As necessary as any other item on our to do list
And, even more so, if we are out of balance.
Being often gets much talk but little presence
In our lives
To strive to strike balance it may be necessary
To have it be forefront,
Until we can learn to dance again.
