Busy, Meet Butterflies. Butterflies, Meet Busy.

Whew!

And: WOW!

You know that old saying about "Be careful what you wish for?" Well I have a new one:

Be careful what you blog about!

Not so long ago I wrote a post about The Real Meaning Of Busy.

And I guess the Universe read it, because over the past ten days the Universe has had me busier than ever! Auditions and planning and checklists and meetings -- and more auditions and more planning and more checklists and meetings filling nearly every waking moment... and when you're getting a show like this ready nearly every moment is a waking moment!

While I haven't been too busy to Stop And See The Butterflies (at least some of them), I also haven't meant not to take a moment here and there to blog a bit.

But that's exactly what I did anyway, which was not to take those moments.

And you know what? I missed it, these little moments of communication.

Maybe Stop And Blog The Butterflies is what I should have written!

But it's a good reminder of what I oh so cleverly said about busy-ness: If we're not careful, we can all too easily let busy drive everything else from our lives -- and our fields of vision.

Seeing clearly what has to be done is essential to getting things done.

Seeing clearly what needs to be done is a close second.

But forgetting to see, as clearly as we can, all the other elements of life and the Universe and everything that's going on outside the boundaries of our particular busy... that, my friends is a blind spot that can ultimately cloud our vision of the other things we're trying to focus on.

So bring on the butterflies -- and the blog! I've got time... no matter what my schedule says.

More soon. (Promise!)
