“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”
~Jane Goodall

A bright light has gone to the Great Council on the other side. ✨💛✨

Yesterday was the first day of autumn which also felt like the last day of summer. Now it’s forecast for five days of rain and I’m off to the mountains and rivers. Leaning into change and release.

“…I’m constantly overestimating & underestimating the human race - that rarely do I even simply estimate it. I wanted to ask how the same thing could be so ugly & glorious, & its words & stories so damning & brilliant. I AM HAUNTED BY HUMANS.”

~Death

ever listen to
the sound of words
…not their meaning
how they feel
in your body
resonating through
each inner organ
reverberating
in-between bones
penetrating
muscles until
a resting place
is found…
each time
the ear hears
the sound of a word

Let change come
naturally, gently, softly
…lifting you
above the chaos
like wind in sails
over the horizon

a quiet
that holds
loneliness
long enough
for the ache
to subside
into the
crescent

So I was taking an evening walk just before a thunderstorm was moving in and I was so happy to make a new friend.

Does anyone know why I can’t see or read the comments to a post I made a couple days ago?

Here’s a picture of what it looks like, so it’s obvious that I have received comments, but I don’t seem to be able to access them even after checking my settings.
