what’s real.

offerings, temple tirta empul, bali, august 2008

what's real today is that i am in love. with my life. with this precious journey that i am on. with my flaws. my vulnerability. and the thousands of opportunities i have each day to have those things reflected back upon me with nothing but light. if i choose it.

what's real is that i am saying yes. responding to what speaks. silly as it feels sometimes. asking for blind dates. sharing tea with a brave and wise soul. arriving as nothing more than than just me. expecting nothing and receiving the gift of authentic connection. inspiration and acceptance. which is everything.

what's real is that is that i am showing up and moving in, after so much time spent with one foot out the door.

potting plants and preparing meals. rearranging and nesting. writing, hugging, photographing and looking. creating, loving, experiencing, growing, embarrassing and transcending. meditating, shedding, plunging, purging, misunderstanding, overwhelming and consuming. laughing, tickling and settling in.

dreaming, believing, trusting.

traveling, beautifying, connecting.

for me.

for us.

because it's real.
