The Being of Doing

I call myself a "doer" -- and had to wonder recently if that somehow is different from who I am (be)?  Can I be a "doer" or do I simply do?  Am I the entity or am I the action?  When change is the process (the doing) have I become a new me at the end of my doing?  One can get into that whole "to do is to be" versus "to be is to do" and who said what and what does it all mean anyway business.   Augh -- too much!

I've decided it this way.  I am a process.  I can be/do still and reflective.  I can be/do motion and action.  When I am being I am doing.  I make choices, take direction and see change -- I am still me, still doing.  I choose to be a doer of stuff.  Big stuff, little stuff, important stuff and less important stuff.  The distinction in it all, I think, is CHOICE.  If you want to tune in to choice, I welcome you to join the community of doing -- where you can do, or choose not to.  Just understand, it's a choice either way.
