finding my way...
cooling off in the evening during the heat of last week . back porch, july 2009life whirls and breaths and laughs and cracks me open.
yes.
this is where i am.
whirling
breathing
laughing
cracking open
life is full, much fuller than it has been in years. it is full of good things. it is full of things that are, to be honest, work. good work. the work of dreams being lived into reality, but work all the same.
which finds me walking the path labeled balance. finding my way, sitting to rest, and looking up and wondering "how the hell did i get here?" and laughing at myself as i realize i made my way here. to this moment. yes, i did. finding my way and seeking shade and then in the next moment standing in the light with my face turned up as i smile into the truth. finding my way and realizing that asking for help is part of the path labeled balance. finding my way and knowing that collaborating brings the goodness. finding my way and realizing that finding my breath is the way to the path that is balance.
yes. it is good. breathe in. breathe out. open. whirl. laugh. breathe.
how are things in your world? i would love to know...
this is me

beautiful photo.
in my world. night sounds. click. vroom. light wind swoosh. dog bark. distant voice. brainstorming.
beautiful post. i am experience much the same...a busy, full creation of my own dreams coming true. many visitors and much cooking and teaching. trying to keep to my meditation practice to keep balanced:)
i love the energy of this post...sounds similar to my own. in my world, i am preparing to travel for the weekend, see a place i have not seen before, old and new friends and maybe a few moments of relaxing.
my heart has been conflicted over a few things, wanting to love two things at once and not sure if I can or not. Not sure if I should, but deep in my heart, i am happy and full and thankful even for the conflict, because it means I feel and i am real.
I am slowly finding my way back to a path of art, my business, my life. I took a bloggy leave of absence and am wondering if I'll find my way back... the next minute I'm certain I'm will.
Thank you for the "zen" of this post.
:-)
Thank you for your beautiful post! It was exactly what I was looking to read today. Your photos on your blog are also very inspiring.
I am currently finding strength to put one step in front of the other to accomplish my dreams one day at a time. Through art, music, photography, life and love I hope to touch the souls of others.
Best Wishes,
Rikki
Well, you know where I am...in the grander scheme of things anyway. :-)
This is good, really really good, because I think that you are recognizing with clarity exactly where you are right now...the good, the bad, the in between, the entirety of it. And isn't that how the experiences are supposed to be, really?
You are wide open and you are doing such amazing things and really, it is just all, well astounding. ;-)

hmmmm....read my last blog post 7/22...'splains right where I am these days...in the midst...stirrings..."Listening and Being Brave"...come see...
Things in my world are surreal & strange & scary & beautiful & lovely & ripening & exactly as they are meant to be...sometimes i just forget that.
Love to you,

i love this post. it describes the feelings of so many. especially me at this time in my life. i took a moment this morning to read a few words on balance, and breath. it was my time and I loved it.

Hello Dear One:)
You are so beautiful, brilliant, authentic and wise. Doing what you are meant to do in this world -- you described it so very perfectly, it left me with a dazzling set of goosebumps and a glistening eye -- truth has a way of doing that.
