but it so easy to get caught up in life: chasing goals, improving efficiency or justifying our actions. For couple of weeks, I have been thinking of ways to stop and reflect, cherish this journey, inserting non-productive days in our schedule and to let it be and let God do the judging.
As the good old book says: Work hard for six days, then take a day of rest. I have heard it described this way in modern context: Use the day of rest to do "life-giving" activities.
I am taking up this challenge, to follow a day of rest in the week. Will I be able to get everything done. It sure require discipline to schedule a break. So I am trying to let it go. What ever I get done in six days is enough.
I experienced one such restful "life-giving" afternoon today.
It was an unplanned stop in the journey, a trip to the town library. Well, it is Fall here. A beautiful time of the year with splashes of orange color, in and around boston area. It is as if, the painter had splashed shades of orange, red and yellow on the canvas; letting it blend, form shapes and enjoying how each day the canvas looks like.
Some snapshot of the afternoon:
A tribute to that Painter, who have clothed the tree with such bright shades, for our pleasure
