hey buds, wanted to share something with my people this morning so here goes. thanks for reading.
we finally got our wood stove fixed (pretty psyched we didn’t burn the house down with the OG that apparently had pieces installed upside down 🙃).
noticed the other day i was rushing a fire. stuck in to-do list life. productivity. getting soooo much done. i’m soooo busy (me too!).
so i’m impatiently making this fire and realizing these logs don’t give a f about no productivity bud. they will burn when they burn. and they will do it slowly, as they do. there is no getting past this or hurrying things up. and why would you want to rush such a beautiful process?
guess it’s back to re-re-re-remembering to be right here with yall. practicing this practice. i told a friend i loved him yesterday and we don’t say that much on our usual phone chats and it felt good.
sitting here this morning with a heating pad on a knee that’s feeling better (yay aging bodies), having a maté, finished my morning pages, sipping lemon water, and listening to Aphex Twin’s Rhubarb on repeat (have done literally hours with this one)!
wishing all of us our time. wishing us our lives. wishing us the space to feel what we’re drawn to and to move towards that with everything we have. recognizing it’s hard.
come out within yourself by noticing what your heart moves towards and what makes your root pulse
—a line from andrienne maree brown’s “the coming out spell” from Fables and Spells
that’s it for now. hope this adds a bit of light where it can. there are so many paths for what our lives can look like. wishing yall the best snacks and lil critter sightings along the way.
LOVE!

PS: feeling the collective love and grief for dave from de la. this chances with wolves tribute mix is a great way to celebrate 💜
