Writing in my room
Is it better to DO or BE?
My favorite massage therapist Glenda tells me that she calls me Ms. Do because I am always so busy “doing” something. Well Glenda (who I call Glenda the Good Witch behind her back) may be trying to give me a subtle hint to engage in a little bit more being and a little less doing. She has a point since when I go to her I am usually in knots from all my doings.
On this self imposed Vision Quest retreat I have been attempting to heed her advice with mixed success. I have a dilemma. Carnival begins here tonight with Juve, which is an all night party. A part of me is drawn by my desire to soak up the culture…another part of me wants to take it easy and another part of me just loves to dance. Even now as I write this the sound of drums is drifting up from the bay and from the village. I am going to check in with my instincts but something tells me my more primal instincts are going to win out and I am going to be down in town…at least for a little.
