Seems to be a good idea to keep my heart wide open to this ongoing flow of life. It’s a changing landscape, a marvelous, sweet ebbing and flowing of the ten thousand things. My nature is to be unrestricted, intuitive and moving with the currents of time and matter, giving and taking, coming and going, pushing and pulling, beginnings and endings. For me, like a kid in the ocean, the only course of action in Life, is to dive in and enjoy the waves. I would rather dare to fearlessly feel it all, sensitive, challenged to learn from Life, loving Life, letting it show me how to take it easy, gracefully willing, strong and balanced. It’s all holy, every wondrous moment of this adventure. I will remain vulnerable, curious and alive to this profound and extraordinary experience of existence and the childlike wonder that anything exists at all. The Child I am feels the irrepressible joy streaming from the beams of heaven straight into my heart.
Hi Sandy, as always a beautiful and power-filled post, thank you.💕

Where to find it
Thoughts return to a sweet summer
morning, your walk from the lychgate
along the path up to the church door
where you place a wedding ring
on your partner’s finger
and sign the open book’s pages
turned by the breeze
under a tree’s branches
spread for an altar
across the churchyard lawn
and dove’s feather-soft confetti
fall upon your cheek, and
suddenly all these years later
you find yourself a spectator
of where to find it
in the lateness of the hour,
your sacred and allotted time.
Oh gosh, that is very moving for me – thank you for this. This is beautiful – I am happy my words provoked, evoked, lit bright these beautiful heart felt words – this is truly lovely- 💕
