The portal has opened and I am stepping through – setting myself on a walk-about for this coming year that will be an initiation into this next part of my life. For the last sixteen years I have been part of initiating young men and women into the field of adulthood. Through global travels and internships, movement intensives and retreats in the heart of Sonoma County, students of LEAPYEAR understand that experiences become the portals through which body, mind and soul are initiated. It is now time for me to do a similar journey, only as an elder learning how to create, again, a life that beckons me forward. And so I am emptying my calendar of all but that which I am already engaged in. This is challenging, to empty long enough so that which pulls me forward is a true expression of my passion, my aliveness, my offerings to the beloved…today.
This runs counter to my habit of filling, of racing ahead as thousands of ideas tumble about in my mind clamoring to be expressed. now. My muse whispers, “wait. wait. wait. It is time for rest, for space, for deep listening and for a gestation period that will birth the new form.” I listen.
For those who look forward to my movement intensives and workshops, they will be back in a more integrated way when what is being ushered in, what is being soul initiated has emerged far enough to be of service with love at the very center of all. As my work develops, this site will develop with me, keeping pace with my work that is emerging. I hear whispers of it and the promise that whatever I do will be the connective tissue for healing the rifts, the tears in the fabric of of our lives, bringing new eyes forward to see and create with.
Look forward to future pages that will host a gallery of my quilts and paintings and the opportunity to order cookies when next your muse has a hunger!
Stay tuned. Stay engaged. Love this life we have and travel well in your own journey.
