The bearable lightness of being

The only resolution that I've made for 2009, is to do things with playful ease. Much is therefore difficult, because we have an attitude with which we make it difficult for us. Many people think they must go to work. They cannot see how beautiful it is to designe something, taking care for you or a family ore supporting others in projects.
This lightness, I want to take in my life. Today I prayed for success and had only a bit later the first challenge. Just when I wanted to start to work, I got a phone call. It was clear that it would take longer and what I had to do would be delayed. I have deliberately switched, I have decided, to be there for the person and not to think: "I have to work now." It was an important, enriching conversation. And now I have to do the things I still want to do otherwise.
