Roofless Pillars in an Empty Grove

Someone (you know who you are) recently posted a blog about the pillars of their practice, and invited others to be thoughtful in the same vein. It fit in wonderfully with what I had written the day before about I thought for a few moments about replying with the body of this posting, but realized that it would be much more suited for a post all its own.
(I always have trouble with responding to other peoples' written thoughts. I want to keep my replies about them and their thoughts, but usually what occurs to me to write is something about my thoughts, experiences or difficulties about that same general topic. I don't want to draw attention to myself on someone else's stage!
...At the same time, as I write these, I'm perfectly happy to let you, my readers, ramble on about nearly anything in my comments. I think I may be holding myself to a different standard...)

So, the body of this post. I started thinking about the things I already do, and the things I might do, and the things I would like to start doing. In terms of practicing, I mean. Before researching, before committing myself to making another groups' practices meaningful to me, this is the sort of stuff I do and would do if I had the time. A lot of it feels very un-spiritual.

• Light a candle before going to bed. (It is a very small tea candle, in a tall candle-holder, on a very wide stove.) I'm not sure what this is in aid of. Maybe to honour the night; maybe a prayer to wake up in the morning. Maybe it's just practice being mindful. Current, as of the last four days.
• Walk (or sit) in a green space every day; the greener the better. Hug a tree. Forest grounds me in a way that nothing else does. It helps me let go of petty personal troubles and the equally petty problems of human society, alike.
• Greet the stars every night. The moon, too, if she's up.
• Track the moon's cycles.
• Pay more attention to all of nature's cycles. I want to have a sense of when the apples will be ripe, when Samhain is coming, when the leaves will fall, when the first snowdrops will sprout. Time gets away from me too easily.
• Stay focused. Do things because I intend to, not because of some outside push or on a whim or by accident. Have all the threads of myself gathered into both hands, like the reins of a powerful chariot.
• Keep a detailed calendar.
• Be kind and considerate.
• Extend the same benefit of the doubt to both myself and every other person. If the action harms no one, then do as you will.
• Always be learning.
• Keep a garden.
• Be prepared for anything within reason. Keep a good sense of humour when Murphy strikes.
• Be grateful for the opportunity to get up every morning.

I recognize some of this as Wiccan, more from unspecified pagan sources; some just straight philosophy, some organizational, and some appears rather Boy Scout. It's not complete, but it already seems like too many 'things' for every day! I'll have to re-examine this in a few days, and see what I missed, which things I might actually try to incorporate, and which I'm already doing and don't even realize.
