Awareness, alertness and care are essential for a completely engaged life. When I am traveling through life on "automatic" my care for detail tends to slip into sloppy mode. I become less involved with the present task and tend to drift from one thing to another. I am like a leaf being blown across the yard by the wind.
The less engaged I am with life and my surroundings the less alive I find myself. I start to lose perspective and all of a sudden the small and trivial becomes huge and all-consuming. I need the structure that community provides to re-center me in life...to provide some form of balance in my life.
How am I living out this balance today?
