Dishes…

Of course I open this day’s meditation after doing the dishes…

But luckily, there was a pot that needed washing, because I’d left it to soak. It’s a great way to clean, you know? Let some water and time do the heavy lifting, so that all I need to do is empty the water, wipe the residue, and rinse a little, then just a little soap, enough foam to let me know that as I wipe again, I can rinse this pot and all that will be left is the container.

I’m not interested in housework, and I don’t know how I can transfer mindfulness to it. But I bet I can do it, if I let the idea sit in my brain for a while.
