I’m learning. Just right. An important life story.
It’s an operating system. Personalized indeed. But not just for me.
It’s this.
I have to move with yes energy.
Yes to self.
Yes to circumstance.
Yes to life flowing.
Yes to learning of hard things.
Yes to acting, taking steps in the inherent mess, but also in the inherent beauty.
This is different than all the no energies.
Including many of my favorites.
This is different than moving with fear or to prevent fear.
This is different that moving with failure or to prevent failure.
At the core,
trusted belly and trusted people in my life
have been guiding.
Trust life to flow.
And flow with it.
Surprise and magic
then have a way of showing up and growing.
And laughing. And delighting.
Yes, learning.
A story to guide most of the other stories.
A story to enjoy and carry and live everywhere.
Sweetness of Companioning
It’s true that companioning has been top of my list of profound experience over the last year and a half. So much learned, of love, in new form. So much celebrated, of together, in both simple and profound ways. This moving of the heart — what delightful surrender. This weekend, cheese fondue. And kayak paddle. Cheers D.
Yup, so, just sayin’. Companioning matters on many layers. This weekend highlighted a particular kind that I’m glad to carry into this week.
This companioning,
what sweetness.
This going together,
what opening.
This creating together,
what wonder.
This life flowing,
what joy.
Base-Lined To Joy, Sun-Kissed In All Of It
Sweet peppers grow in a pot on our front walk. They are still blooming. We still harvest. The peppers themselves for salads. The insights for reminder of simple things on a Wednesday.
I wish
to be
at peace
in the every day
of the every day
and in the the great flowing
of it all.
In the stillness.
In the movement.
In the clarity.
In the complexity.
I wish
to be
in utter peace,
base-lined
to joy,
sun-kissed
in all of it.
Life’s Abundant Joy and Wisdom
The last two mornings I’ve enjoyed front porch clarity. It’s sitting at our small bistro table. With coffee. With journal. With laptop. It’s friendly waves with a few passers-by on their 7:00 walks and jogs. It’s easy low 70s temperature, before the afternoon 90s come calling. It’s appreciating simple things. Like this blooming sunflower.
And then a few words, from my poetic heart, that is so much medium for my clarity and joy.
Greetings in your day.

Perhaps
it is time for me,
maybe for you too,
to claim a next layer
of life and vocational simplicity.
Perhaps
it is the time for me,
maybe for you too,
to follow the night dreams
of ancestor guidance.
Perhaps
it is the time for me,
maybe for you too,
to welcome a next layer
of life’s abundant joy and wisdom.
