"It is what you were before you were born and will be after you die, but guess what? It is also what you are right now." I was thinking about this just last night. What is the non-mental, non-memory, non-corporeal part of our self that has always existed. In an odd way I was feeling immortal, like this essence will always be, and that it always had been. Thanks for showing up with this today.
Thanks for your comment, Bert. I so appreciate your engagement. I think we are all immortal; it’s just hard to grasp that we probably can’t take our identity with us!
Thanks, Audrey. Yes! I find that if I just slow down and be present with the task, there is great pleasure in most chores. Have you read Thich Nhat Hanh? He uses dishwashing often as a method of centering.

“I just stood quietly and looked closely.”
Feeling the water and the warmth…
Have always found dishwashing to be centering. Never owned a dishwasher, never will ☺️ Thanks for sharing, Don
