A couple weeks ago I was walking with a friend and noticing how immaculate the gardens were. Something about that caused discomfort and curiosity. Why did the gardens have to be kept exactly right? We moved along farther in our walk and noticed the beauty of Mother Nature, leaves on the trees and on the [...]
Has your body been speaking to you? Have you had pain, tension, confusion? Do you know what these clues are telling you? Perhaps you can relate to my experience... Over the past three months my body has been speaking to me and I have not been listening. I have been trying to convince myself that [...]
Each moment changes happen, the weather, the flow of the day, the felt sense of the body, the rising and falling of emotions. For me, this year it is deeper and more elemental. It could be that I have turned 50 and my focus has shifted, or it could be that I am committed to [...]
