What to say, what to say....
There is so much going in my life right now that it is hard to even express the things that are changing, growing, and happening at the moment. Everything feels very intense, though I have more spaciousness in my internal landscape than I think I have ever had before. I feel filled with Joy, so full that my cup runneth over and I yearn to share ( Read more... ) -
Centering
I am working on building a daily practice, one that will give me a better foundation for all the work and Work I have to do in my life. Some days the Work is easier than others; sometimes I just want to pull the covers over my head. Interestingly, the days I feel the most hermit-like are the ones where I really, really need the practice to ( Read more... ) -
On fear and loss and other things
Contemplating yezida 's post from a couple of days ago on fear, I was reminded of a turn of phrase I thought of a few years ago.
This is all there is.
There are so many ways to read that simple sentence. You could read it as a limitation, yet another way to voice the sense of lack that our culture is so fond of, the idea that there is NO abundance, that ( Read more... ) -
Hoppy Bird Day Two Me
I have achieved the answer to the Life, The Universe, blah, blah, blah: 42. Now, what the heck are the questions again?
It has been a quiet and lovely day so far. punkmom fixed sausage and egg griddles for me, and they were really tasty! N came over and we went up to Dana Street Roasting Company for a cuppa and some knitting. I am now sitting at home, ( Read more... ) -
Some days....
are tougher than others.
I'm having one of those not-so-upbeat days today, feeling a bit like there are problems to solve that are simply too big for me to tackle. I'm terrible at letting go, so it's difficult to cultivate non-action about issues.
Now, off to put a note on the door for the plumber and go out to ride my bike before heading into -
California Academy of Sciences
Just a quick post as I'm tired and need to sleep soon! The trip back up to the California Academy of Sciences was awesome! In the rain forest I felt the need to put out my hand and voila! a butterfly landed on my finger and rested there for several minutes. It just doesn't get much better than that ( Read more... ) -
When the student is ready....
the teacher appears. At least that's what I remember this old saying to say. I wasn't counting on the teacher arriving like a house falling on my head ( Read more... ) -
Live from Sock Summit to you!
It's been quite and adventure trekking to Sock Summit. The drive up was beautiful, and both traffic-wise and mechanically uneventful. You really can't ask for much more than that on a long drive.
The first day here was difficult. I was apparently not in phase with anyone else, but we did manage to acquire a new bike...a mtn bike for Ru that I am ( Read more... ) -
What's new?
I am having so much fun knitting up the second sock on the Flat Feet for Kaye! It's really interesting to watch how the colors move from the knitted blank to the sock, and I'm enjoying the process of trying to reproduce the first sock since I worked from a pattern inside my twisty little brain!
I also did a LOT of spinning over the last few days ( Read more... ) -
Monday (only it's Wednesday)
So, today was my Monday, as The Shop is closed on Tuesdays. It was a very good day. I did have some lingering problems from an apparent gluten run-in yesterday, but I am feeling much better tonight. I wanted "safe" food for dinner, so I made myself Trader Joe's Gluten Free mac and cheese, putting some julienned sun-dried tomatoes and pepperoni ( Read more... )
