I’ve got a little stone figure in my garden…a mini Buddha. He sits among the boxwoods under the rose arbor. In Spring, the pink primrose surround him. I can see that stone Buddha from my office window and sometimes I am jealous. He looks so relaxed. Chilled out (or as my daughter puts it, “Chill-axed”). He doesn’t mind the heat, the rain, the humidity. He just IS. AND, he gets to take in the garden and all its glory all day long. He sees the birds flying by and looking for things with which to build their nests. He’s got the bees pollinating the flowers all around him, singing in his ear. He sees everything grow.
My goal this week is to go outside and just SIT DOWN like the Buddha stone and BE.
