Sometimes a fall is part of the plan all along.
worn shoes, weary heart and listless mind.
One year ago today I returned from Australia.

The more expectations we carry in the less we can pick up along the way~

One year ago today my fingers began to unfurl spilling
wax
paint
books
teaching
creating.
expectations.
One year ago today I began a journey that started long before the trip to Australia.

Even when we don’t desire it, God is ripening~ Rilke

I suspect this too is part of the plan all along.
Keep seeking.
like Abraham, a beautiful community formed in the desert of my searching.
souls exist in far away cities I can reach out and touch.
who reach out and touch me.
these did not exist before dissolving my comfort zone~
_____________________________________________________________________________________
my need of God is absolutely clear.

I was able to pick this up and carry it back home:
The world is alive,
ALIVE to me
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Periods of dislocation open us to the realization that we need connection.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
alive to you.
go out.
come back.
let all that’s in between out and back be.
I left behind parts that feel like dying
and I have.
We all have.
let what remains live-
Ripen.
so we can be picked.
in love.
