“So, are you busy?” is the social sleepwalking question of the current milieu. We’re all ‘busy’ with Something, so let’s agree to drop the question. Let’s also agree to drop the badge of honor: “Oh, he/she is So Busy.” Then it’s an excuse or some kind of ambiguous merit.
We all have the same amount of time. It gets more precious and moves more quickly as I age. I have to discern more clearly how to use that time. So, I honor each and every moment I spend with you.
I introduced the Noticing Game on the Lake Cruise the other night, where you tune into your body wisdom/intuition/experience and tell your partner what you notice about them. I’ve been using it lately to start conversations. “I feel excited to see you…” “You seem bright today…” “Something…feels off today…” Then whatever is current comes up naturally.
Let’s honor that you are taking your time to be here and read this. Thank you.
