swim
We climbed the rocks, enormous square chunks of red-brown stone. Each block was topped with a thick layer of bright green moss. The blocks were stacked up and up, as high as we could see.
We climbed to the highest altitude on the planet. The air was cool and misty. I wore a sweater, pants, and boots. There were huts at the top. I rested with my brother and a friend's toddler.
We walked out to see the lake. It was misty gray, settled in the red stone. The toddler fell in; I jumped in after him, instantly marveling at my bravery. We fished him out, my brother and I.
I started to swim. "Come out, it's too cold!" my brother called.
"No, it's warm, I'm going to swim," I replied. And it was. Refreshingly cool, not cold at all.

clouds
A rare night when I got up on the Reiki table. I usually don't. Usually I like to be the practitioner, not the client. There was a wonderful group of practitioners at the Share tonight. People I know and trust.
I got up on the table. Four people worked on me. It felt like clouds roiling up inside me. Then they cleared away. I felt warm hands on my head, arms, and feet. I relaxed. Stress rolled away. I took deep breaths. Relaxed.

marriage equality
Well of course. Gender is fluid, irrelevant. We are souls. We love who we love.
Balance
... haven't had much the past few months, I realize. It's been too much work and too little nature, winter sports, and time with friends. Full time plus 2 extra classes is too much. Ok. The semester is winding down and I'm striving for better balance.

Seeds
came in the mail today.
Spring will come.
I'll give them some Reiki before planting.

sun, snow, and ice
Still snow and ice... but I ordered seeds today: kale, beets, beans, and zinnias.
And I sat in the summerhouse, in the sun, barefoot, and read a good book.
When I got restless I harvested morning glory seeds. I pinched the dry hulls, which were hanging in clusters from dry vines. The seeds fell into my palm, I blew the dry hulls away, and dropped the seeds into a jar.

Transitions... Denise Le Fay
Am reading such a good book. A Lightworker's Mission by Denise Le Fay. Really resonates, explains so much. Pleaidian connections, Egypt, portals, and much more.
I highly recommend this book.

gratitude
Today I'm grateful for a smooth easy day with little drama.
We struggle for excellence, we strive to survive, we do the best we can. Sometimes there are tears, sometimes shouting. No tears, no shouting today. I'm grateful for that.
Today I got to teach, meditate, and share Reiki. What could be better? Oh, it could be better if I'd finished my day with Kirtan. I didn't go to Kirtan. Didn't want to get back in the car, back on the turnpike. It's windy, and the wind blew my car around driving home after class. I was aware of my road position, questioned my tires, realized it was the wind. Too windy for Kirtan.
Just right for a quiet evening at home, grateful for the day.

Reiki
We shared Reiki today, 13 of us, a witch's coven.
So quiet. Just breath and easy movement. Occasional whispers and giggles as we thought of something or changed position. Did anyone fall asleep? We are all so tired, all the time. Especially these dear students. They work, care for families, and take classes.
Remember, take care of yourself.

one word...
We wrote notes to each other in class today... one word per person. Here's what they wrote about me: soft, gentle, calming, caring, compassionate, kind, positive, sincere, gifted, gracious, brilliant, mentor. Thank you ♥
