Zen Mindfulness of Hanging Out the Clothes
I use a solar/wind powered clothes dryer, practically year round. Aside from the financial (clothes pins and rope cost me about $7.00) and ecological advantages, there is always this other dimension associated with drying the clothes. The oak trees are starting to change color. In hanging out the clothes, there is always a connection to the season and the weather. Sometimes the branches on the trees are bare or budding or changing color and falling off. Sometimes there’s a setting moon or a hawk in the sky. This stuff is always there if you just pay attention. It’s what they call Mindfulness.
