My hands are staying busy.
I don’t know if you do the same thing, but when my heart and mind are conflicted, burdened, frightened, sad, or trying to make sense of things, I have to be busy.
Sit quietly and contemplate and meditate? Impossible.
You know the scene from “Eat, Pray Love” where Julia Roberts is trying so hard to meditate and her thoughts go through a million things, only to wind up peeking at the clock to see that only a minute has passed. Yep. That’s how it is here with me.
And that’s why some people go for a run, some cook, some dance, or sing, or take long showers. We each deal with things we can’t control in our own way.
My hands are busy so my heart can be still. My creativity takes over so my mind can pray.
