WATERING THE SAME LAWN

Monday, May 7, 2018


We are singular and we are everyone.
We are ourselves alone and we are each other.
We think the grass is always greener elsewhere, but we are all walking on
and watering the same lawn...

Water your lawn well...
then take off your shoes and run with wild abandon.....

BALANCE

Monday, December 26, 2016

Half of me is filled with bursting words and half of me is painfully shy. I crave solitude yet also crave people. I want to pour life and love into everything yet also nurture my self-care and go gently. I want to live within the rush of primal, intuitive decision, yet also wish to sit and contemplate. This is the messiness of life - that we all carry multitudes, so must sit with the shifts. We are complicated creatures, and ultimately, the balance comes from this understanding. Be water. Flowing, flexible and soft. Subtly powerful and open. Wild and serene. Able to accept all changes, yet still led by the pull of steady tides. It is enough. ~ Victoria Erickson
