Despite everything, life is full of beauty and meaning.

~Etty Hillesum

experimenting with softer landings….

inquiry for today~. may you too know your place in things….

simple times…

There’s always a moment

after falling, after bleeding,

after fear recedes like an

undertow.

At first, I thought we were 

supposed to chase things, 

but no one taught us what 

to do if we caught them.

When broken, I wasn’t sure 

if I was to close the break 

or keep on opening.

Then, I thought, I’ll build

a home in which all that I 

love can live.

But loving and losing, and

dying and coming back, I

came to love the world and 

all I couldn’t see. It was more 

than any house could hold.

That led me here, by the 

river, where I stand like a 

tree, drinking from the earth 

and reaching for the sky, let-

ting small things nest in me.
