i do not know the next images i will capture with my camera. i do not know the next words i will write. i do not know what the next work is. i do not know from where the abundance will come. i only know that it is coming. that the light is beaming through the window onto the patinaed wall. that the gold vermeil hummingbird is guiding me. that the jungles of peru and the colors of rajasthan are filling my dreams.

i do not know what i will do next. and, for once, i know that i don’t have to. i know that i am exactly where i need to be– at a table in a new paradigm. one that is dripping with honey, wine, and figs. i am seated among those who know. feasting with those who see. and i will do whatever is asked of me in this company, in this state of grace.

this morning, as the music fills my space, as the lazy sunday sun coaxes the roses open, and as the breeze blows open the door just enough to touch my skin–i am overcome in the most expansive of ways. it is light and easeful. it is open. it is receptive and clearly feminine. it is all.

and you, my friend? will you tell me where you have been and how you are? i wonder sometimes who else is here at this grand table…

Every morning I walk like this around the pond, thinking: if the doors of my heart ever close, I am as good as dead.  ~mary oliver
