A little bit of pretty.
Quote I’m Thinking About Right Now:
"Be kind. Everyone is fighting a great battle." -St. Athanasious…from one of my many clippings:
"One adventure is over; it is time for another. I have a different kind of work to do now. I am growing into a new season. At the water's edge, watching the tiny, teeming life of that mysterious place between high and low tides, the intertidal zone, I begin to accept the relentless flux that is the condition of these days. I am not old and not young; not betrothed and not alone; not broken and yet not quite whole; thinking back, looking forward. But present. These are my intertidal years. " -I wish I remember who wrote it. It came from the NYT Magazine or Oprah's Mag.-

So she took her love, for to gaze awhile, upon the fields of barley.
We’re going on vacation. “A trip with a lover!”, a friend said. I’ve been smiling at that thought for days. We’re going to the mountains to Hike and Breathe and make Simple Farm Food and maybe Look at Art. There … Continue reading
21 Things I want to be.
I wanted to reach out to other creative spirits and interact with new people: That Happened. I wanted to free write and think and find new projects to dream of: That Happened. I wanted to Get Moving, step out of … Continue reading
Turtles Have Feelings Too.
And so another day has passed. I stayed off the pain killers today so that I could think clearly and Get Something Done. I did. And for half of it I will not be paid as the client let another … Continue reading
A sprained neck. This could be a problem.
After my mind-bending yoga class on Friday, I felt great. On Saturday I had one of the best days of this year to date. Calm, relaxing, cozy. I still felt great. Sunday was pretty and glorious and light. Until 3 … Continue reading
Treating new growth gently and pondering a spirit of peace.
I’m quiet today. I slept in, body sore from yesterday’s Long Stretch. Last night we swam until stars came out, ate buttery fish with herbs from the garden, and snuggled little boys. I slept smiling. Exhausted. Yesterday Sarah called. She … Continue reading
Living on the edge: the place to be?
I am reminding myself that I asked for this. I joined a synergistic project designed to get life moving. I prayed to be able to earn more money, to support my children. I stepped forward into the Unknown, my own … Continue reading
