the dry mouths of our sisters
notes on right relationship
the game is fun - schoolyard chase and workplace schemes. create a thing with your effort. affirmation! we say we just want enough to be comfortable, but you can only win what another loses.
is this the life you wish to live?
listen to the pause in what gives you the deepest pleasure - for me, it is a slow walk beneath big sky - and ask, of what is that life made? it is one of spacious blessings.
put your spade to the earth with me. let us see what ease can flow to the dry mouths of our sisters. leave none beyond your blessings and watch the fear of the world melt into soil in your hands.
