Impermanence

React or Respond

June 1, 2010

Often, life is out of my control. Things happen requiring that I simply respond. If I don’t respond, then I’ll react. I get to choose. Respond or react. Pushed by pain or pulled by impulse. Lately, I’ve been doing more reacting than responding. As the hands of life place me in the water, I find [...]

A Shade Darker

May 27, 2010

I really don’t have a thing to say today. I’m writing because I made a commitment to myself and to you to write Monday through Friday. I’m writing because I know that if I skip a day here then I’ll probably skip a day there. Before I know it, I won’t be writing anymore. I’m [...]

Empty Mind

May 12, 2010

I caught a glimpse of an idea for today’s post but weariness blurred it. It’s the good kind of weariness. The kind that leaves you sore and tired, but happy. Do you know the feeling? My brain is rather empty…well, partially. It’s nice because my mind is often overactive. I practice meditation and yoga to [...]

Disoriented in the Woods

April 16, 2010

In the last couple of weeks, I’ve noticed that I get a tad confused about my path while walking in the woods—ever since the snow melted. I remember that I had the same problem for a few days when the snow first fell. I don’t get lost, but the path simply isn’t as clear. The [...]

My Dear Friends

April 8, 2010

Do you know what I’ll miss the most about living in the northeast? My dear friends, Bill and Karyn, whom I love. They are soul friends, heart connections, and I adore them. They have brought a warmth and companionship to our lives that I will miss and always treasure. It has been such an incredible [...]

Impermanence in Nature

April 5, 2010

I was working on a project in the house when I noticed that Pedro had been gone for some time. I peeked out the back door to see if I could eyeball him. I saw him up on the hill happily basking in the sun, so I returned to my project. Some time later I [...]

Georgia on my Mind

April 2, 2010

It’s official, and so unexpected; I’m moving back to Georgia! I moved away 25 years ago. Honestly, I never thought I would return. Many other parts of the country resonate with me more than GA, but most of my family are there, and I want to be near them again. My dad (that’s him in [...]

Silky Seeds of Life

March 19, 2010

This is a weed–Milkweed. Milkweed is the host plant for the Monarch Butterfly. What you see in the photos is the flower turned to seed. The silky threads are almost ready to release to the wind which will carry the seeds to their new destination. Those seeds embedded themselves into the soil somewhere last fall, [...]

Dangerous Waters

February 12, 2010

I love this photo. I read the message on the sign and it sounds really scary! And then I see the herons and other birds resting peacefully there (click photo to enlarge). Yes, there is danger. This sign is on a dam and the waters are released from time to time. I imagine that the [...]

Dancing with Impermanence

February 9, 2010

The reality of impermanence hit me between the eyes 15 years ago with my mother’s diagnosis of cancer and her death a year later. At that same time, it became clear that my husband and I were unable to have children. A year or two after that I was divorced from my husband. [...]
