My View from the Garden: August 2012
http://myviewfromthegarden.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 27, 2012. The Ancient of My Familiar. Driftwood is sometimes, in years following a quiet winter, absent from the beach; and other times in great abundance－ making it possible to walk, perhaps for miles, on logs without touching the ground. Simple forts are built by. At low tide, one can walk out onto the rocks at the base of the haystacks and find sea anemone, starfish, mussels, and. I am walking on a driftwood log when a couple about my age stops and comments on the chill in the air. ...

My View from the Garden: July 2012

Sunday, July 29, 2012. Running Away to Home. Five weeks ago I ran away from the home and the life I created for myself in North Carolina and returned to my roots. Two weeks were spent on the 4000 mile journey from that life to my new life. The first two weeks here are busy with building my nest and getting ready for my Seattle daughter’s wedding at this old/new home. This week is the beginning of figuring out “what now? 8221; I think when they are handed to me. What is that an acronym for? Hubbub’s...

My View from the Garden: March 2013
http://myviewfromthegarden.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 31, 2013. I like to read other people’s blogs, to see what is on their minds and where I might find inspiration (another word for opening). I discovered some new ones this week. One. Why was there no swarming? The coach told them to look for open space; the coach said that was where they would find the opportunity. “Oh. Wow.” I said. Yes, out loud. I’m contemplating on that one. By Mark Nepo, has been her opening into the practice this month:. To journey without being changed. Introduced me...

My View from the Garden: Kindness Love Believing Joy Beauty
http://myviewfromthegarden.blogspot.com/2013/04/kindness-love-believing-joy-beauty.html
Sunday, April 21, 2013. Kindness Love Believing Joy Beauty. It doesn't feel like these words apply to this week. Hate Pain Despair Fear Mayhem are more in keeping. Boston, Texas, airline technology meltdown, a trespasser walking past my open window after bedtime (don't tell Mama), a friend's husband diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer, floods and stormy weather, a congress making unbelievably bad decisions. That brought tears to my eyes (and includes chocolate). And there was patience at the airport ...

Sunday, June 24, 2012. 8220; It should be built by a mountain stream that flows to the Pacific…and nothing should obstruct our view of the beautiful, snow-capped mountains.”. 8212; Phoebe Goodell Judson. In preparation for my cross-country trek, I added Navigator to my cell phone plan. As I played around with it this week, I thought, “I need to name this voice that is going to navigate the country with me.” Immediately, Phoebe came to my mind. The book drew from her journals, begun the day they left Ohio.

My View from the Garden: September 2012
http://myviewfromthegarden.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 30, 2012. My yoga instructor had offered earlier that there are two sides to all things. As we enter into this season of autumn and cooler weather and stillness, the southern hemisphere is gearing up for summer. As I stilled myself in supta baddha konasana, I thought about my life and how just about everything has a flip side. For every gladness there is a complementary ache; and vice versa. I don’t fall off; the rest of the trail is glorious. And I am enormously proud of myse...I meet ...

My View from the Garden: November 2012
http://myviewfromthegarden.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 25, 2012. I haven’t read Anne Lamott’s Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers. Yet, but I heard some of Renée Montagne’s interview. With her on NPR a few days ago. I think Anne is a genius. Here is what she said in the interview:. 8220;Help: People say ‘help' without actually believing anything hears that. But it is the great prayer, and it is the hardest prayer, because you have to admit defeat — you have to surrender, which is the hardest thing any of us do, ever. I was awake l...
