This is an episode on washing dishes mindfully. I have a pan that I've mucked up one time too many. I don't have patience with it any more. But maybe I need to slow down and care for it proper.
And by it, I mean me. Slow down and look at the pan. What does
it need? Can it be saved from the land fill? Focusing it on being
in the moment with that dang crusted up multi-ringed pan of
hell.
Ok, I might need a bit more work on being in a kind and loving
mode of mindfulness. We all have to start somewhere and it ain't
going to be perfect. Doesn't have to be.
Just start.
Do the best you can, when you can.
