Back in March in Su.Sane’s “Window of One’s Own”, she wrote, “Each day being an individual gift to life” (3/25/02). That one sentence has moved my senses in so many ways ever since. Within its words I have found comfort, discomfort, realizations, love, and compassion in every day that has followed. It is a very powerful statement that bears recognition by all who intend to live their life in fullness.
Since opening the space to BE in that sentence, I have been awake to so much more. I have joyfully watched our home become ours fully, with comfort and ease being our intent. With Clarity we have moved slowly through our home to relive spaces we hadn’t been to since we moved here.
Tuesday we built a greenhouse that came together in 2 hours, because the feeling of it was so clear that we could move into it, through it, around it, and Robert could put a roof on it, in one afternoon and voila! Our dream came true!!!
This weekend will bring time to plant our seeds (on Monday the Todd Flats came in) —- its all so grand! Patience and deep listening is bringing us what we want as a family, a truly sacred community with individuals.
We have decided to wait until next week to move the rosemary’s, etc outside, after looking at the extended weather forecast. I know they are very anxious, but we don’t want them to freeze their little tendrils off.
We had a beautiful, delicious, relaxing Easter with dear friends. The day couldn’t have been more perfect and we took in every bit of it.
There is so much I have had understanding of this week – whew! Like how the timer on the oven works (which has always seemed backwards to me); how to set up my “Garden Journal” on Outlook, so I can quick record data as we build our garden this year (that has been a real geek challenge); and that my slipping memory of some things is only because I have made room for so many more insights that I have been waiting for.
Lily is fully aware that Spring has sprung – just like her winter coat – so now I am off to comb her out, again.
