Labyrinth
Last Sunday, I spent an hour walking a Labyrinth. http://www.labyrinthuk.org/page3.ht
As with all meditative practices, sometimes an insight or two bubbles up during the process. My insight was that somehow in recent years, my spiritual practice of writing has become a job. I have been happiest when thinking of my writing as my ministry, and lately I've been acting as if it were a career.
So part of why March sucked was the burglary and the incapacitating illness --- which turned out to be this year's relatively wicked influenza. But getting kicked onto my but by those events provided the context for realizing that I am spiritually off track as well.
I don't know what this is going to change, exactly.
On the positive side, spring has definitely sprung, and even thought the London days have been gray lately, it's definitely a springtime gray. That helps me feel that I may muster the energy and emotional resources to do whatever it is that I have to do next.
