Keepin' Busy

[Christine Whitney Sanchez]

Joelle, isn't that amazing?  Maybe it is the power of intention or perhaps
the complimentary phenomenon of Goethe's wonderful "moment one definitely
commits oneself, then Providence moves too."

I've finally broken the surface after swimming up from the bottom of the flu
river that hit our family over the holidays.  I'm not recommending this as a
first choice for a spiritual retreat, but being so sick did have the effect
of quieting my mind and giving me the experience of living beyond time.  I
wasn't able to do any of my "normal" stuff and therefore, I could not
distract myself in any of my favorite ways.   And, I can't explain this -
during my absence, there was very little activity of any kind that needed my
regular attention.  So, as I've resurfaced, I'm not at all "behind."  I've
also had this experience when I was working out of the country.  How does
that work?  A shorthand description might be that this is how it works in
open space/open time.  Another, more shamanistic take may be that our
ordinary experience of time and space is altered when second attention takes
over.





Christine--

A few years back, Paul and I decided to take a much needed sabbatical.  The
amazing (and scary) thing was that for the whole two and a half years that
we were away from consulting work, we had not one business-related call, no
e-mail inquiries, nothing.  Within a week of deciding that it was time to
get back to work, we had an assignment from a new client.  I never
understood what was at work here. . . unless maybe the power of intention.

I like your river-bottom metaphor--we also have spent a virus-laden holiday
season.  Glad to hear you are out and about again!
