This year has been like the first part of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey; blind-folded, spun around, and given tasks to do. I’m happy to have a few moments to rest, plan, and look ahead. Looking back, we were in San Francisco for a few days this week where we rode MUNI way too much and I drank too much espresso. One of the highlights was Fort Point. This is a national park site right under the Golden Gate Bridge. Dramatic views of the bridge, the City and ocean. The sea roars against the rocks up onto the pavement. And a few surfers were riding waves there.

Winter Solstice

Quiet…listen…for one moment the earth stops spinning and all is still. A profound peace will flow through you if you let it. Then blink and you are back to the rush of life. Carry the peace with you, use it as needed.

Mid December

Another week, lots of debris in the river of life to negotiate and a fog filled sky covering the guiding Polaris. Well then, just do the thing you know to do and see if the river and sky clear up.

My mind wants to wander its recesses and dream....the adult duties call me back.
