Well, from time to time I take stock. Not of the things I own but of the things I do! Today was one such day of taking stock - simply because I could not make it to work.
Why do I work? To make ends meet or to keep feeding my ego that I have quite a 'necessary' job? Why do I write? Why do I get passionately involved in whatever I do? Why is that work is so structured in Sri Lanka? Why isn't freelancing that very popular? Why do mothers sometimes think that working outside is 'work' and work at home is ' a drag'?
Well - why do I think on these anyway? Well, for one, today I had a field day with my creative thinking. Generally I have to think for others when I am at work. Today, I thought for myself - and I enjoyed that. My mind had a free run on all the possibilities of becoming a fully fledged writer! I pictured myself winning the Booker Prize - well a lot, for a woman who hasn't even written for the home grown Gratien Prize. I am getting there...am definitely getting there.
By and by my thoughts ended up in one simple, miniscule, tiny, eeny-weeny small thought. Enjoy life in the present. In other words, be all there, wherever I am and be all that I can for that moment, that work cut, that job or that conversation. Get passionately involved. If not, opt out!
That was the sum total of all my thoughts for the day. Well, you are free to comment - some one, anyone - whoever you are... Thanks
