Worry Invitations

As I sit and listen this morning, I hear a Beetle chirping in a tree Northwest of the cabin. As I do, Cat Bird, and a pair of Cardinals join me. I notice their actions and see no ambivalence. They act. They fly, they hunt, the kill, they sing. They don't hesitate. They don't balk. I am struck by this, and it gets me thinking about the power of actions. I can accept. I can forgive. I can be grateful. I can serve. I can ponder. These are actions. These are things I can do. Today I will be paying attention to the actions I take and noticing when doubt and worry invite me to hesitate.
