The weather's been perfect, the guests were easy and interesting, and I had a really good writer's meeting in Columbia yesterday, followed by a nice evening with Jim. It's a beautiful day today as well, guests coming in, and I'm looking forward to the week ahead, though it promises to be a busy one... All is well in my world...
I'm reminded once again of my 'letting go' last week--burning old letters and journals--and remembering that sometimes you have to be willing to release what's old to allow what's new to grow, to evolve, so to speak. It's not a bad thing, and I've certainly felt some amazing growth in my own life over the past month, and I hope Jim is discovering this for himself as well. Growth isn't always easy--but I think the vulnerability of pain makes up more open to change, in whatever for it takes. It makes us more compassionate. Kahlil Gibran say 'the deeper pain carves into your being, the more joy you can hold.' I like this idea a lot... I even feel that soon, I will write again, as I'm starting to think I might have something to say--I hope so.
In the meantime, it's one day AT a time, one moment AT a time--NOW, as Tolle would say. Little by little, I am discovering that NOW is a very good place to be. May your week be blessed with beautiful moments.
