Moments #2

I have wanted to blog..to share. Equally , I have wanted to step back and recalibrate. Refocus. My blog is a place to let go. Write. Receive. Record, and process. My journal is it's fuel. 

The pages are filling fast. The blog is the sifted version. The nuggets.  The moments captured. The place to reflect and sit with gratitude and appreciation for my life. The struggles. The growth. A place to connect with the memories of that time. That season. That chapter. I feel like I am on the cusp of another chapter, change, or season. I have found a great peace in my faith, my family and my friends. I have been disciplined. Teachable. Open and willing. 

Life is always uncertain. Fear is normal. I could go there. Easily. Fear. Doubt. Insecurity. It's familiar. It's predictable. But there's always an inner tug pulling me up. Forward.Higher. 

Ignoring it only causes me to struggle greatly. Surrending and letting go sets me free.

I read this quote this morning, as the blue jay squawked at me from the branch above. (Symbolic of truth, communication, loyalty, perseverance, and overcoming challenges.)

"When you own your true energy, the earth itself will breathe a long, deep sigh....of relief."

I will be breathing with her. 

Moments ❤️

My Dad, my stepdad, his MG. Meeting up at a car show. Hugs. Chats. Community. Music. Americana . "My Wish" coming over speakers in the background. The 3 of us connected in a circle. An ache. "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother". ....a lump in my throat. A momentary visit back in time. A little girl. Dad playing a cassette. "My favorite." That song. Surreal. Father's Day.❤️

An impromptu hike. Meeting half way to join me on my traditional first day visit. Her first time to see the Falls. Decades for him. A great pause to take in all the beauty. Selfies. A Scarlet Tanager landing in a maple tree. My first. Symbolic of joy, passion and a vibrant, active spirit. Hope and transformation. Pursing desires. New beginnings. Warmth, happiness, renewal. 

An orange octopus resting in the gravel. Imagination. Curious minds. A gift of the unexpected.❤️

Taking the time to let life in. Giving myself massive doses of Love. Acceptance. Comfort and nature. 

'Simplicity is nature's default position.'

No agenda. Minimal planning. Going with the flow. Spontaneous.Uncomplicated. Organic. Refreshing.  The dove is coo-ing in the distance. Healing. Love. Life.

Be well ...

xoxo

"We grow where we are loved."

"A man sees the world what he carries in his heart."

~Goethe~

"But ask the animals and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; 

or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,

or let the fish in the sea inform you.

Which of all of these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind."

Job 12: 7-10
