Pretty impressive that I have kept up this blog for two years. Each time I haven’t a clue what I will write, but once my hands hit the keys content arrives. It is so much like that on this journey. If I were to sit and structure out every last detail, it would lose its punch. The sooner I accept that I can control close to nothing the better I am in the process. If I am rigid and forceful then I feel stuck.

I must release the sail and let the currents take me to land. Sometime I feel that I have been guiding this track when in reality there are signals only I could recognize that tell me otherwise. There is this truly spectacular process unfolding with each page that turns. Sometimes I wish to stop and worry in order to figure things out, but I only find myself dizzy twirling in circles.

One can look ahead without formulating every single last element. So much will change and being open to change will allow freedom for possibilities. I was dead set on going back to Bali 7 months ago, but I was being waved in a different direction. I heeded the call and cast down my anchor. At the time it was  bit nerve racking wondering if I was slowing the process of my business or if I was just being indecisive, but now I see that being in Baltimore was exactly where I was meant to be. Believe and trust that there is a beautiful story that you are writing even when lost in confusion  of uncertainty. Everything will work out, it always does.

End of Semester visit to my Great Aunt Peggy in Michigan.

Reading a tin of old family letters.

Many afternoon walks in the light drizzle of spring.
