Recently, I’ve been spending a lot of time inside a building with security door latches. Some are accessed through a badge which we wear. These are credit card sized devices, anchored to a clip with a retractable cord. That sounds like zip-zip-zip when used, and provides hours of entertainment.
Other doors are accessed via a four digit code on a key pad. I’ve successfully memorized the code (a life skill). That’s a good thing, because I don’t want to get stuck outside in the hallway.
The keys on the key pad beep when pressed: tap-tap-tap-tap! And then, there’s a pause and a ‘click,’ and the door can be opened.
Honorable Shamans and Fellow Pagans, in just three weeks, I have developed a strange little habit. After I depress the 4 buttons, I tilt my head to the left, just slightly while waiting for the ‘click.’ I don’t know why I started doing that. I don’t know why I only tilt to the left. I just know, I do it every time now.
That’s how easily habits develop. As habits go, this one is totally benign. It doesn’t hurt me, or anyone else. And once I noticed it, I set about stopping that habit. It’s a choice.
Every day, the little choices we make, sometimes without even noticing, add up, like drops of water wearing away a mountain, drop by drop.
Make good choices, and share your peace with Mother Earth, Father Sky, and the Big Waters all around us.
