The absence of margin

This morning while forcing some silence/refelection into my schedule, I realized my inability recently to create margin in my life for the things I most need (which happen to be intimately associated with the things most important to me).  I am finding little time for solitude, for spiritual practices, for reflection, and for creativity.  I am reminded when faced with this uncomfortable reality that those things which demand the most from us in the economy of our lives will get the most of us.  We have demands upon us, from others, from family, from those we work for and with, for those we wish to help, from those who we share life with.  These are good and normal demands.  But with much quieter screams, the person inside us beckons for life, for health, and for balance.  To nurture myself is vital to the ability to offer myself to others.  

I must change the economy of my life.
