:: Gently moving ::

" To be a gentle mover in a swiftly

spinning world.

To be present.

To only entertain the real.

To listen.

To stand inside of the stretch,

the momentum,

the tall discomfort of change,

the knowing that you don't need to

rush the practice,

or even fake or force a thing.

To believe in rhythm

and movement.

To trust in the river,

the song,

the stillness,

the storm,

and the seed.

This is my religion."

{Victoria Erickson}

these lines...

exactly what my heart

needed this day.

I hope you are well,

my friends...

savoring and cherishing

these last days of

October.

It's been glorious here,

I'm grateful for the beauty

of this autumnal season.

Excited to tuck in and hibernate

in the months to come.

For now, I'm off on an adventure

to Seattle with my youngest

for college tours.

I'm feeling it all right now...

which is to be expected

in this journey of motherhood.
