Beginning

I've had this blog for a while now and never posted. I had even forgotten what title I had given it and was just now startled by the photo I selected. Nice to be surprised by oneself. So, today is the first day. Simple beginning. Simply beginning.

Unfolding is an inviting, challenging and yet comforting word for me. At a turning point in my life when I was stuck in indecision about whether to move to another city, I was floating in a lake with a friend and suddenly I saw in my mind's eye the image of a lotus flower falling open in my chest. Along with it came a visceral feeling of peace, ease, possibility and invitation. I knew I was right where I needed to be. The image showed me that I was rooted and nourished. I stayed and I am still here.

The slab glass window was made by Joan Hector at Apple Farm Community in Three Rivers, Michigan. It speaks to me and I aspire to make such a window.
