Baby Steps

This past year I have often thought of this blog as "my poor neglected space".  Now I see it has been a concentration of silently counting my breaths in and out 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and over again.  Baby steps, is what I need to climb back to my creative self.



While I've been gone I have started and stopped, feasted and fasted, struck out and held close.  I have been sitting in virtual circle and digging deep, excavating nuggets of gold and shards of fractured glass.  I have lost and found hope


meditated on chicken feet


and equally complex natural worlds unto themselves.



I have journeyed


and squirrelled myself away from the world


witnessed miracles


and came fearlessly close to nature.




I asked for one feather 


and received whole birds, and more.


Right now, I am making moon mandalas with Lisa Hofmann over here



while my heart cracks wider and wider and I am called to go deeper and deeper into the excruciatingly lonely practice of forgiveness.
