I love this time – the in-between time, the time after all the gatherings and lights,

the time before we swing back into the regular routines of the new year.

It is the crack between the worlds, the place where dreaming can unfold and then spiral into being quickly and quietly.

It is a place where, if we want them to, solitude and silence can surround us

and the soul-hungers we have abandoned can find us once again.

It is a time to listen deeply, to stay with stillness

open to the impulse to move from the deepest part of what we are.

when I awake on new year’s day, I hope to simply be….

inquiry for today~ what would it mean to stop striving this year?

find your bliss

Every year you make a resolution

to change yourself.

This year make a resolution

to be yourself.
