Perfect amidst imperfection.

Perfect amidst imperfection. Written August 9, 2017   Sometimes the absence of something is the trigger to realize it is essential to our way of life. Writing is like that for me. Academic writing, free writing, journal writing, blog writing, sketching, or some other form of creative expression through dance, yoga, music, art. From thisContinue reading “Perfect amidst imperfection.”

I see, I feel.

I see, I feel. I see the shifting seasons before my eyes. As the leaves fall from branches willing to let go. I feel it in my bones. As the breeze calms through the open sills.   My progress today helps me plan for tomorrow. I give myself time to be in it. To getContinue reading “I see, I feel.”

Doing what I love has taken great time, attention, and awareness to cultivate. It takes dedication,Continue reading “Fullness.”

My handsContinue reading “Notice, in silence. “
