Practice of Joy: Flow

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”  -Matthew 6:21

While I generally love the change of seasons and the opportunity for new rhythms and emphases, one of my dreads of the summer is all the togetherness. As a creative who works from home, flow is an important (and sometimes elusive) element of the work. 

Open your calendar and find a space of time that you can set aside for play. This may be a half-day, full day or weekend depending on the demands of your life. Reflect on the boundaries and preparations that need to be made so that you can use this space to simply be in the flow of rest, creativity and joyful play. What resources do you need to gather for such a time? Who might you invite to join with you? 

God, you surprise me! In the beauty of your creation, in the way you respond to our needs, in the ways your kingdom is made known. Surprise me in this time of playful flow. May your Spirit guide and inspire me. Amen.
