birth as metaphor for life
welcoming contraction
as an inevitable companion
facilitating opening if not resisted
as this living life that is alive is constantly birthing and being birthed
unfolding and folding in
when fear finds footing
room for expansion evaporates
and the discomfort of contraction arrests development
in being with the discomfort
greater opening emerges
the laboring offers a glimpse of the potential to be birthed into new life
in each moment

justin and i recently celebrated our 9th anniversary and it happened to fall on a lunar eclipse and full moon. it is said that with all eclipses, something ends and something else begins and we tapped into that space created beneath the moon…taking the opportunity to create intentions for our lives both individually, as a partnership, and as a family heading into this 10th year. we placed rocks to signify these intentions in a pile, where the tide would eventually wash them away…asserting our role and responsability in co-creation and also recognizing and surrendering to that larger something that is at work in the universe…encountering our continued arriving with each other…chosing one another once again to journey with (as it is an on-going choosing)…all framed in the hopes to better serve the world…

making it to this space is far and few between these days…the summer days drawing my energy outside… but on this grey quiet start to the day i was poking around my site and saw that this short bit had not been published…from the looks of the picture of selah below it looks like it was probably a year or so ago…but it spoke to me this morning…
this business of being finite can feel limiting but also, there is something quite freeing in tapping into the reality of our being finite, limited to time, space and capacity…not to write off that on-going hope of evolution that pushes us forward…in our infinite-y…toward our dreams and perpetual desire for more or different…but recognizing the grace in not being able to do it all…in our finite-y…that is a good place to rest sometimes…

i am ready
for spring
it keeps peeking out
its beautiful promise
of growth
and change
and then
it snows again.
pure joy.Filed under: creating, playing with photos, self-portraiture experiment, student being
playing with this notion of
balance
trees continue to be powerful metaphors
teachers
who know the vitality of rootedness
and what are roots
but that which allows the tapping into life
into that which sustains
into the grace that lies beneath
allowing branches to strengthen
to endure the cold of winters
to bloom graciously in the springs
to flourish in the radiant summers
to surrender in the falls
of life
dynamic
is this being rooted
and it does not seem to have a destination
but rather seasons
