(based on the childhood rhyme)
one, two, buckle my shoe,
three, four, get out the door,
five, six, take pics,
seven, eight, lose some weight,
nine, ten, gain it back again,
eleven, twelve, forgive myself,
thirteen, fourteen, what is most important?
fifteen, sixteen, can I do anything?
seventeen, eighteen, ---maybe need some caffeine
nineteen twenty, thoughts aplenty!!!
Happy end of summer everyone!

Deep breath! September is here!
Just now, I was perusing Facebook, glancing at photos and reading here and there of people's tenderness or glory or adventure. And it just hit me, that even in the midst of chaos (and there is definitely plenty of chaose right now), even in the midst of so many reasons to grieve and struggle, even in the midst of a Facebook full of ridiculousness, there is wonder and mystery. There are people living into their authenticity and truth. There are people connecting with the beauty within and around them. There are people reaching out to support one another and the world and nature. Even in the midst of the crazinesss and busyness, there are lovely little blossoms growing out of the chaos and lighting up the horizon of my day.
Thank you each for taking a moment to share yourself here or elsewhere. thank you for taking a moment to be supportive or creative . Thank you for offering your honesty and vulnerability. Thank you for the songs and poems and stories and photos. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being you.
Thank you!
I hope to be sharing more with you in the near future. I am putting that intention out there.
Deep breath! September is here!
