Things around here have been quite slow. I apologize for the lack of posts. There have been some other things that have been taking up quite a bit of space in my mind and in my heart lately. I've had to be quite courageous and standing up for myself a lot recently. It takes a lot of energy to be true to yourself!
One of the things that I have been doing for me is making more time to read. I've been putting off reading "Writing Down the Bones" by Natalie Goldberg for a long time now. I had checked it out from the library almost three months ago, and only this past week was I able to sit with it and fully absorb its juiciness!
This past Sunday, as I finished reading the last pages, I sighed and put the book down on the desk. As I put it down the church bells down the street began to chime. The bells are horribly out of tune, but they clunked along quite beautifully. I couldn't help but think the same applied to myself as I move through life with clumsy beauty.
