Day 96: Lost Tying My Shoelaces
95 days have dodged the bullet as a photo or a clear sliver of memory got the ball rolling. The 96th day, a Thursday, is a blank; a memory lingered on Friday illusive like a recalcitrant balloon flying free on the breeze, taunting me with it’s closeness but ultimately floating further away as I waited for it to come to heel. It seems I only have my email Sent box to give me any hint of my dithering on the day, shards of hamster wheel activity, a snowballing of inattention and awe and wonder go out the window. It is only now as my confession emerges fully formed that I remember the intuitive session first thing in the morning that delivered my action for the day – to be zen, to pour myself fully into each of my activities, one at a time. I remember now being fully with my tying my shoelaces like I probably haven’t been since I was 4 or 5 when I learnt the skill. So present that I worried that maybe I would not be able to consciously remember how to tie them. And now the picture comes. Perhaps not so much a forgetting as a state of being, just being lived. No need to capture, to prove. Looks like my lesson with this project is coming to a close.
100 Days of Awe is a playful project I set up to bring my attention to awe in my daily life. I see awe as wonder, a mixture of amazement and respect. I expect the experience of awe to be about perception shifting awareness and that demands a reframing of some sort. I am excited to see what will awe me on this journey.
