Responding

I rise at 4 to 4:30 these days, and sit in the dark responding to stars one morning and clouds the next, receiving what comes.  Impermanence.

My grandson is six today.  He’s entranced with snakes so Jungle James came to his birthday party on Saturday, bringing four amazing snakes, and entertaining children and adults for an hour.  The snakes were carefully passed around so we could touch and stroke in alignment with the scales.  I’m with the beauty of this earth we share, the love of touch.

Healing

I went to the Muir Beach overlook yesterday.  The fog is in so I dressed for winter and felt the news of these days melt and flow away.  I met two friends.  One just lost her husband after 16 months battling pancreatic cancer.  The three of us lost a very good friend this week, and so I sink into melding with the ocean and rocks to give expansion, compassion, and comfort with transition, passage, and grief.
