As I sit here typing, coffee by my side, a grey Tuesday morning, I realize this is my first day of summer. A sense of potential hangs in the air, and some anticipation of the unknown that lies ahead… Time to nurture my spirit and renew my energy. Full-time mom and full-time work is a hard balance. This summer I will regain my equilibrium.
Writing feels challenging today… there is much emotion within me. Yesterday I said good-bye to two dear friends. Today I visit a life-long friend and meet her new-born baby. Life is so full of extremes. Always this dance of sorrow and joy that make life whole. It puts me in a funny mood…
I think about all the choices we make, the paths we follow, the lessons we learn… I think about all these individual lives that cross, and how we affect one another both directly and indirectly. I wonder why the world has become so consumed by materialism and conflict. I wonder about too many things. My mind drags me deeper down the rabbit hole…
Yet behind all those thoughts, I look up, I see the sky, the clouds, the trees… I hear the breeze rustling the leaves, the birds chirping… and there it is. Peace.

I often find myself in the rabbit hole. It’s a good place to be still; but not tarry for long. Else the darkness consumes the light within. And it can be struggling finding even a spark.
So allow me to let loose a vine dangling down the rabbit hole. The other end is secured on a tree sturdy on your path. Come up when you are ready.
Namaste, Jenni. =)
