“Brummmm, brummmm.”  My motor is running to get things done.  I want a corresponding energy in my heart, so my inner pusher isn’t my main boss today.  And of course, it’s Grandmama God I want.  It’s Her Voice I’ll listen to as I work in the back yard.  What will Her theme be?  And She whispers, “Mary, today is for fun, for feeling your aliveness, for celebration, for gratitude.  It’s not a serious day.”

I’ll be quiet now, and listen to what else She may tell me.  She says, “Today is for joy, Darling Mary.  Joy!  There will be enough computer time in the days ahead.  Today may be the last day for awhile of so much idle mind time.  Sing, Honey.  Feel free.  Enjoy being outside.  Breathe deeply.  I want your yard beautiful, too.  Let the details unfold.  Sing some more.  No rushing.  Let the “Brummmm, brummmm” in your heart be the hymn of  your heart’s fullness today.”
