winter woes wafting away...

yes, i am merely sitting on the couch. that's all. yet, the window is open. and i hear things outside. i hear the airplanes overhead in the distance. i hear the loud unstable rumble of the neighbor's truck pass by the house. i hear a child call, "throw it to ME. throw it to ME!". i hear footsteps. louder. wet with mud and melting snow. then they pass by quickly. a dog walker. of course. and oh my goodness, this is GLORIOUS.

i took a walk this morning with my daughter and a friend. we met halfway and then off we went. simply following wherever our FEET took us. and it was brisk. and it was thoughtful chatter. and it was perfect. it was joyful. and it was zen. this brings about a feeling of being connected to a neighborhood. a person. a group of people. a family.

this deep sense of connection to self is satisfying to the soul.

bring on the sunshine.

namaste.
