the goodness {my sacred sunday}
there is a chair under there (and a few of these to the left, do you see them?), 11 november 2007
the goodness. i feel like i am sitting inside it. even when i hit some bumps (or hills or mountains) in my path, somewhere inside me, i am still aware of the goodness.
to be aware of the goodness through tears, that is something...a clue that things are shifting.
another pile, some soon to be a few of these, 11 november 2007
today, i sang and sewed for hours and hours. and i felt this goodness growing within.i was thinking about a conversation i had last night that lasted until the first few minutes of today. i am enjoying the beginnings of a deep friendship, a soul-full friendship, with a beautiful kindred spirit. and, i was thinking about how conversations where you can just spill it, your truth, and share yourself without any worry of judgement are true blessings. these are moments to be tucked in the pocket of your heart. moments you can turn to when you are faced with one of those bumps in the road so that you remember who you are in the midst of something that might be inviting you to forget.
and then i was singing these words*:
I won’t hold anything back
And I won’t hold anything in...
...I’m still
Willing to begin
and then i was thinking about this, about truths and laughter and ideas shared, about letting go of assumptions and past disappointments and embracing a new path, and i found myself taking a deep breath, a contented sigh even...and i wanted to capture that feeling...that blissful feeling of beginning and action and love and truth that is growing inside me...so i took a picture so you could see how it looks on me...

You are beautiful in this photo!
The truth and bravery and focus and peace (yes, peace) radiates through.

beautiful photo...
to match beautiful sentiments...
:)
Willingness--in my experience anyway--is ALWAYS the preface to any first step. It's like opening up to willingness is the inhale...and stepping forward is the exhale... ;)
I followed the link to your friend's site...she has my friend Shelagh's "Parisian Poppies" in her banner! (I have the same print.) :)
Being able to talk freely, being yourself and knowing you are safe...these are wonderful qualities to find in a friend, I'm glad you have Jen.
what a gift this is...both of you are lucky!
Love,
D.
it looks good on you! it's a look like that belongs on your face...
ps--get ready to do some more singing...i burned 3 cds for you this weekend...i just want to write a little letter (okay, maybe a long letter--i can get pretty long winded when i'm passionate about something) to go with them and i'll stick them in the mail to you...
It looks divine on you my friend...both inside and outside.
That momentum that we talked about is in full force within you and you are indeed taking action.
Your happiness is contagious. :-)
I can't wait to see the new creations...and oh my goodness, the fabric...the fabric! he he
And on a totally unrelated note, I had no idea who created the poppies that I use in my banner and logo because I purchased it from a royalty free site several months ago....and one of your dear readers knows the artist! Oh my goodness, it is such a small world. :-)
love to you.xoxoxo
