Day 24: Spending Time and Losing It

20200409_142208-1

What you’re lookin’ at in the photo is QBMaze.  Today I spent some time with Munchkin building that thing.  Truthfully, he built most of it.  I could hardly figure out how to put the blocks together.  Munchkin stunned me by his brilliance.  He had no problem imagining this and executing it.  The blocks are a bit tricky.  Some of them have openings on one side.  Some have openings on both sides.  Some have openings on the bottom.  The objective is for a marble to go through a constructed path and end up where you want it.

Unlike our lives during this pandemic.  We have no or little control.

Spacial relations are not my thing.

But they are Munchkin’s.

I lost track of time as we worked together with trial and error to make our creation do what we want.  At one point, Munchkin’s Ipad started ringing.  He didn’t answer it saying his friend could wait.

At first I was excited that he thought I was such good company. But then I realized that he was just in the flow of building.  It comes naturally to him. And having Mom around wasn’t so bad too.

That’s how today went.  Unstructured, flowing time.

And I grew to be okay with that.  My monkey mind was yelling that I should do this and do that.  But my soul just wanted to slow down.

I was feeling a bit down.

And that’s how these days seem to go for me.  One good.  Two okay. One good. Half bad.

So instead of focusing on how I feel about Covid 19, I let time flow.

Glad I did.

Namaste
