Regularly falling into the silence behind all things.

19 Oct 2012

i'm going to

spend the weekend wearing favourite scarves and dirt-encrusted wellies and drinking lots of hot hot chai after long lingering walks beside an Autumn-raging river with a small child that can't get enough sticks, water, or mud-time.

I'm going to give some loving energy to the little one's school with honest work and intention.

I'm going to release some melancholy doves into the cold sun-veiled pine trees of the forest and heave chest-tight churning disappointment into accepting waters.

I'm going to make connections stronger and pour healing love on bad starts.


There is darkness and light and here we are on the apex of it all.

  12. I love your 'intentions' and acceptance of 'dark & light'.

    What better way of expending energy, your little one's future, she is blessed to have a mum like you!

    Happy mud puddling, when I was a little girl I loved nothing better than making 'slop dosh pies' i.e. soil mixed with water in a play bucket. x
