Connecting through words
What if we could make peace with death and the choices surrounding it? What if we were willing to have a conversation about death? In the last four years, I’ve learned some things about death and dying. They aren’t all easy. And, it’s left me with questions I’m still pondering.

Darkness? That's okay.
Joy? Revel in it.
Uncomfortable? Let it be.
The pain comes in the struggle to be other than we are at this moment.
If we respond with hate
to their spewing of hatred
we only multiply hatred
in the world
If we react in fear

A giant fir tree
stands strong and fierce
trunk trailing skyward
in a straight line
grounded into earth
limbs flying in the wind
but trunk stands steady
I felt that way once

I know I've been quiet lately. The push this last fall finally got me, and I decided to step away for a bit. I know some communication would have been helpful, but sometimes we need to walk away. No words. No story. Just honor the call within and rest. So, that's what I've done.
I'm still in the mode but didn't want to let the season pass without saying how grateful I am to each and every person who follows this work. There's more to come, and I'll be back after the first of the year.
we can build walls
or we can build bridges
we can withhold
or we can surrender
we can step into the light
or we can hide in the darkness
each day carries choice
