Interuptable

One of the authors of The Power of Stillness said something powerful in a recent podcast about being mindful. He said we should be interuptable-so at peace that nothing disturbs us. We should welcome interruptions because we value people and relationships above transactions and functions. Being not merely doing. But doing matters too. I hate being interrupted. But now with traditions, formalities and routines interrupted and stopped including work, school, and extracurricular activities I'm learning to be interuptable. With plenty of time, I find it easy to listen. To trust in timing. To have meaningful discussions. I'm enjoying talking with family for hours and days and weeks. Eating meals together. Playing together. Working together. Bring on the interuptions. They help me focus on important people.
