Navigating the Sacred and Mundane

Nomad


Yep, you guessed it. Moving time again.....

How many circles around a house does it take to finally open the garage door, bring in a cardboard box and tape it up? Still counting.

Circling the labyrinth, just my kitchen. Circling the stone circle, just my bedroom. Circling the medicine meadow, just the little one's room.

This is our Christmas, and it's not a bad one. Getting rid of stuff. Keeping what redeems. Basic gestures of kindness, a glass of water, a glance, so appreciated.

Our next house waits just a mile down the road. Everyone knows, a mile is not just a mile.

Happy Holidays!

It sounds like you are finding grace and even keeping your sanity during this time--brava for that. Here's hoping that it will feel as good as I think it will to finally be able to start putting down roots again.

Happy Holidays to you!

Happy Holidays to you and yours. Here's hoping the move goes smoothly and you all find yourselves nestled together in warmth and love in your new surroundings, unpacked or not.

Love.

Wow. I hope it goes smooth as silk, my love. I hate moving...But that's maybe why I had to do it so much. God thinks it's funny to teach us certain things. ;) It sounds like you are taking it as it comes, and that is wise.

((hugs))

Your new house is going to be beautiful and wonderful and cozy and you. And much closer to the good coffee. You are handling all this with grace, you will be fine.

Big big love.
