I too, needed this reminder for my own practice, which had been daily and recently waned once again. I have been a fish on a camel several times in life and fortunately have been able to make the leap off when needed. Probably the biggest time was when I quit my full-time job, sold my home & most possessions to create/facilitate a volunteer literacy project in Belize Central America and become a fulltime Storyteller in 2005. That leap led to so many other possibilities than I ever imagined. It also immersed me in a world where time was viewed so differently than what I was used to in the mid-Atlantic US. In Belize, the pace was calm, people mattered Most not possessions. I stopped wearing a watch. I learned to let go and BE because that's what nearly everyone around me was doing and they seemed far more at peace than people back in the US. Perhaps they had fewer things in Belize, but wow, they had a lot more Deep relationships with each other. And in the end, that's what matters. That and finding a sort of inner peace that then sustained me as I carried their beliefs along with me through life. Thank you for the reminder, I feel I am at another leaping point. To where, I am not sure. :) HUGS from my heart to yours!
