Elegant and On Purpose
My friend, Ron Beimel, is the epitome of being elegant and on purpose. Years ago, he supported me in up-leveling my first website and working side-by-side with him was an education for me. He used only essential words, stayed on purpose with what needed to be done and he did it with grace and elegance that had my attention. As a talker, I was at first intimidated until I understood that was his mode of communication.
Ron is particularly present with me as he and seven other hikers were caught in an avalanche just over a month ago on Nanda Devi peak in the Himalayas. Ron’s celebration of life ceremony was this week. Thank God he blessed us all with his presence and with his loving that continues on.
Ron knew the power of one thing at a time through to completion. Having that profound level of focus is a gift. Our consciousness deserves that level of respect and honor that purposefulness brings.
Doing one thing at a time through to completion applies everywhere in our lives. I know in my enthusiasm I can sometimes get ahead of myself with words. Slowing down to receive the words one at a time honors both myself and the other person.
A friend at my house on July 4th noticed how many programs were open on my computer that I wasn’t actively using. (I usually close them at the end of the day.) I thought to myself, what if I try it a different way and close as I complete? Very simple and not so easy to do. It seems like extra work initially but honestly, it lifts my attention to a higher level of focus. Any tendency to rush is relaxed.
I know I love the clarity of nothing on my desk except what I am working on. Choosing the discipline of a clear workspace and working on one thing at a time gives new meaning to the word elegance. Holding our attention on purpose could be labeled as an art form.
The gift of Ron was the blessing of keeping his eyes singular which was on the loving in this moment with the undivided full attention of his being.
We bless you Ron and all who loved you dearly. We are grateful you were among us.
