I invite you to join me these next few days, within all the fireworks and hoopla, to witness moments of quiet in between in between the parties or the driving or the have-tos and shoulds and oughts… in between the getting there and getting back after the big booming crashes, as the ashes fall slowly… Read More
there is a quiet process of transformation. first, discomfort. a feeling of being a bit (or maybe more than a bit) lost. then, dawning realization that there is something more, something undone that needs doing, something unspoken, something that needs to be offered, laid bare. then fear– what happens if …? what happens when….? who… Read More
