Even I find this a bit of an odd duck. Still, I know its
wisdom is sound.
I rarely think of how little I pause these days, given
instant connection that technology and even my own compliance with its various
processes makes possible.
Still, I sometimes postpone even ordinary and really
a no-big-deal responses.
I used to know why I did this.
Sometimes, frankly, I enJOYed
the savouring of the words, whether email or voicemail.
Connection via
technology is a Very Different Bird than in-person connection.
And I also did this BEcause of less attractive reasons.
Perhaps for a feeling of control where I felt out of control.
Just saying…
What I am discovering is that responding Now, straightaway,
leaves me feeling “righter” within myself. Like BEing in tune.
My savouring could make someone else feel insignificant.
And
then there are times when I anxiously wait to hear back from someone…
So Now I’m focused on DOing NOT delaying. [though sometimes I delay when I sense Time helps me
to “get it righter” within]
Responding, paying attention, engaging, all these things
make both my Life and my myriad connections into amazing living breathing realationships.
So, just as when you
and I are together, I’ll respond to
your questions and say what I am thinkingandfeeling Right in the moment.
I love you, Currie

Excellent composition! Beautiful!
I've always been pretty immediate and direct and I can get quite annoyed when I get behind online for days because of health issues or being busy with other things. So, I need to do the opposite--relax about it. After all, I am understanding about other people having busy lives or health issues and it's okay if I don't respond to every single post--even if I would prefer it. I have to not be so hard on myself, I guess.
