The radio is turned off. No more NPR, no more traffic report, no more hum of the washing machine. I see the green leaves of the magnolia tree directly in front of me. A huge ground hog ran under its branches earlier this afternoon. I'm trying to get a little more comfortable with quiet, natural light, one task, less stimulus.
In some ways this blog is meant to hold the same space. I have lots of passions: yoga, travel, creating & officiating ceremony, social justice, community, growing food. I'm grateful to feel purposeful & engaged in the world. On the other hand, these passions & general day-to-day living can feel over-stimulating. Perhaps one of the most valuable aspects of blogging is continual clarificiation-- honing in on ideas, shaping pursuits, grounding.
Towards landing meaningfully wherever you are.
