Will I remember this morning and all of its non-silence? The birds, the hum of traffic in the distance, the dripping of the water condensing on everything? Will I remember the cool humidity?

Overflowing Abundant Nurturing.
By nurturing ourselves, we nurture others. Make a little too much of a nurturing soup so it can also nurture another. Keep sleep time quiet for yourself and others will also rest well. A clean environment is nurturing for everybody. We are able to face uncertain experiences and see ourselves in others only when we … Continue reading Overflowing Abundant Nurturing.
New Year’s Eve.
It’s new years eve and I am feeling unprepared. I feel like I should have done more to set up for this moment of shift into 2024. I’ve never had a transformative year like 2023 in the past, but I still don’t feel like I’ve done enough to move forward with the care and attention … Continue reading New Year’s Eve.
Priceless.
This view. It was priceless. It was expensive. It cost me a lot to create this picture of this present moment. It cost me the time to walk. It cost me every decision I made in order to curate a lifestyle that celebrates movement- from how I rest up, to how I fuel activities, and … Continue reading Priceless.
What I Am Doing.

Honestly. Please, don’t.
A possibly unpopular boundary that I've needed to set for myself: If there is an emergency or an issue of urgency, please don’t call me first. Call who needs to be called- police for crime, fire department for fire, ambulance for a medical emergency, plumber for a leak, therapist for urgent counselling, etc. (To be … Continue reading Honestly. Please, don’t.
The Present Moment
"The Present MomentNothing missing. Nothing extra. Simultaneously nothing and everything."Twitter post 25 October 2021 I've been exploring some aspects of my Universe lately. What I've come back to over and over again is that the Present Moment is our point of entry into a life beyond our conditioned responses. Bring your awareness to where you … Continue reading The Present Moment
Trying.
I have been contemplating my path recently. What else is new? I have been my entire life. But lately I've been able to cut myself some slack on perpetual "trying." All my life I've been told that I'm not trying hard enough. When I have tried, I've more or less hated putting forward the effort. … Continue reading Trying.
