Watch out!
Aden, over a year ago, during one of our warm winters!

Are you having trouble making a decision,
feeling like there might be something more on the other side of the fence?
Talking it over with friends?
Ready for a different perspective?
Sitting on a fence has its merits.
You get to see at least two versions of your story,
but sooner or later you must come down on one side or the other,
if only for your supper!

This azalea looks so happy!!!
No matter where you prune an azalea,
it will bloom there, at the end of the stem.
Would that we were all so willing to thrive,
no matter the scrapes and cuts that come our way.
Perhaps we are…
after all,
humans are considered to be one of the most adaptable species on the planet.

If you get into a funk (and we all do from time to time),
can you approach your confusion with love?
Can you stop worrying about the particulars,
especially with people, anyone, and worry more about loving them?
Not in a way that you give love away,
but more that you are sharing your love,
the love that is always inside of you?
Flowers aren't always beautiful,
but they always share,
without diminishing what they truly are,
without denying that they haven't bloomed yet or are past their prime,
or need to be underground for a time,
they are always true.
You don't have to be "this" person,
or "that" person to anyone,
just be your loving self,
be true.

Up and down,
up and down.
These steps take you down to the river
or up into town..
(The red pill or the blue pill?)
Life or just getting by?
It's not that simple, is it – up or down?
Life is everywhere!
In the murmuring river below,
or the busy street above,
and in between – say, the 14th step,
it's everywhere.
In our smallest moments and our largest,
and everywhere in between,
this is it,
the stuff of our lives.
Are you having fun yet?

If you go away,
and you wish for a winter wonderland,
if only for the few days that you are away,
and it HAPPENS(!),
timed perfectly for your safe arrival.
Well,
the best response is…
Thank You!
Beautiful!
Wonderful!
Thank You!
