The potential of Rituals

5/14/2017

1 Comment

 
Our life seems to run linear, but somehow it seems to be organized in circles
- the circle of the year, 
- the circle of a week
- the circle of a day
there are so many things which are repeating in our lifes,
but most of all we feel disturbed by  repeating things, we feel it is bored.

But repeating things - actively - hold a own potential which is worth to discover.
The things we repeat can be more than just things we repeat, 
but rituals which guides us, which gives us anchor points in 
our times, which change faster and faster each day.
By doing something which is steady, which repeats, 
we do quiet our mind, we practice a kind of meditation in action,
where our action become habits, just like brushing our teeth in the morning.
Daily rituals can help to set forth positive thoughts and positive thinking, 
because "You are what you think" - and what you think determines what you do.
Henry Ford once said" If you think you can - or you can't - both is true".
By starting a day which the experience that we did a thing we can, we give ourselves a first positive experiences
which might start the next task with a "Yes I can" attitude as well.

Removing the original colors
from an image reveals forms and structures
and their relationships in a decluttered
clarity, which allows us new insights about the world
surrounding us.

The spring arrives
all the snow is gone
your footsteps at my door


I don't know if there is really a haiku
inscribed in the stone,
but I can imagine that it would be one
and some can read this there..
