ever since I've started following you and taking your courses/reading your books I start my day outdoors with my coffee and find stillness. Most days I am successful. you have taught me to ALLOW anything that rises up and I can't thank you enough for this gift! There is so much beauty beyond the boredom

I’ve been looking at a vital piece of my bird feeder lying on the ground for days. Even though there was still some ice on the deck, I ventured out with my walking sticks to fix the situation. Now I’m watching the tufted titmice gorging on sunflower seeds. My heart feels so much lighter! Oh... and today is one month and one day since my complete knee replacement surgery!

She,s daydreaming . I can almost see the drool slipping out of the corner of her mouth in her beautiful repose...I know the signs well . She is like the Lady of Chillot, ever weaving who dared not look down to Chamalot ...

Thank you for reminding us that we can use this downtime for creative thoughts. I like that quote about autobiographical thoughts going back then how we want to live forward and what steps in the present we can do to arrive at that dream. I’ll be sipping tea soon and thinking about this essay.
