resting

 

All action begins in rest.

-Lao Tzu

May you find time to breathe deeply.

To put up you feet.

To listen to birdsong, or music or silence.

Notice the slant of the sunlight.

Sink into the lovely month of November.

Pause to see what is revealed to you in the quiet.

and still we plod on...

 

last night's sunset, from our place

this morning'a sunrise, from the other side of the ridge

well friends,

we made it to the other side of the elections (kind of).

such relief, celebration and hope.

and yet, concern and dismay thanks to you know who.

still it seems,

one foot in front of the other.

some distractions for you...

• The Queen's Gambit, a seven part mini series on Netflix. A bit dark, but excellent.
• A recipe for Stuffed Acorn Squash with Quiñoa and Pistachios, via Martha Stewart.
• A sweet, free downloadable pattern for a needle case from KZ Stevens.
• One of my longest lasting blogging buddies, Anne, is celebrating 10 years of being a self-taught artist. This blog post tells the tale and offers encouragement to all of us to follow our dreams. Giveaways included.

Start acting like you are a member of a 

compassionate majority up against a

desperate,  fearful, and shrinking minority.

Because you are.

-Ethan Nichtern

wherever we end up in the next week or so,

the sun will still come up, 

and we will put one foot in front of the other,

because really, really, really,

the words above are true.

hang in there friends.
