bumps

life's been a bumpy road lately. i suppose it always is; that it's less about the bumps and more about my jaw and my mind and my heart when i'm knocked around. last couple weeks, argh hard times. lots of resistance to sorrow, more sorrow, again. all the spring birth announcements: tulips, humans, birds and bees. sometimes feels like i'm standing on a barren mountain top. notice i don't want to talk much about it, that i keep my sufferings at home. is that wise?

what's been keeping me together? samwell beloved who listens and loves over and over the coaster wheel, the few dear friends i've let into my stories, yoga. after twenty years with yoga i am still suprised when it comes back again an anchor.

biking faster and faster to town.

lupines. and more lupines, bigger and bolder each sunrise.

making food that tastes amazing and feels amazing inside.

my coursework with the prosperous heart. the author, julia cameron, asked me to list ten ways i could be kind to myself. that was nice.

and today, june (-uary in the kootenays) is sunny! is hot! is a sundress and nothing more!

last night we sat with scott cook while he sang hopeful heartful songs. he said, "just sing. i promise it will make you feel better." i love that.

take good care,

k
