Quote of the month

"the creation of the world is not yet complete...we are still creating it...."

There is so much going on here. More than I would have dreamed - and yet I am finding that the well is not empty. Ever since our fire in April, once the trauma passed, I had more inside to give.

It's the opposite of what you might think... I seem to have fewer limitations (except for that old one called time...) but the well is deeper and there is more joy.

Many patients in physical and psychological pain, my mother-in-law wants to move here - immediately - so much with our children...it seems like a blur of color, carnival and drama.

I am working on keeping my yin, keeping the well full.

I am trying.

The best we can do this time of year...the lung yin all exhausted. So much loss and letting go - so interesting that it all is happening concurrently...

Much goodness and sweetness to us all in the new year...
