what a last few weeks

over the last few weeks I have suddenly found myself (due to some plans being changed with performances) having some time to myself. This concept sadly is a strange one to me. It is something that many of my friends and even family have told me that I should be doing more of as I need to recharge the batteries.

I have found that it isn't a lie when I say that I get bored easily. In fact I tend to get really bored if I'm not on the go. Maybe it is just a quirk in my personality but I find the following things:

1. I love to spend amazing amounts of time by myself in my own head.
2. People who say things to impress others actually don't impress me at all. In fact they irritate me!
3. I constantly have a melody in my mind or at least a musical fragment.
4. I tend to really dwell into the scriptures more when I'm not doing anything but keep on being challenged to do more things to live what I read.
5. I still love to practice my music eventhough I would much rather be playing at gigs and filling up my calendar.

However the biggest thing I've discovered in the last few weeks. Silence and the lack of urgency. Even when I do become busy again, I think I'm going to remember that top gear is not always the gear I need to be in. Sometimes I just have to sit on idle, allow myself to tune into the task and then let it run it's natural course.

much peace!

Don.
