Yesterday Chris and I took the class on our Friday walk to the arroyo, leaving Jill behind to prepare the room as best she could for the Open House today.
She was feeling quite overwhelmed by all there was to do, but she did exactly what L.T. recommends: when overwhelmed, stand quietly and perceive what corner is calling to you.
When we got back with the class after a couple of hours, Jill worried that we wouldn't see all her hard work. She shoveled out a bunch of stuff (a large trash bag half full) and wiped down surfaces with water only.
But Chris and I could both feel a real difference. The room seemed beautiful again. I am convinced that it is less the actual cleaning that matters and more the "penetrating the surroundings with consciousness."
