Everyday, I find myself outside in this small sanctuary. It is very basic, yet so calming to my heart and busy mind. It allows me to shut out the noise of the electronic world and send my attention to the messages of nature and the birds. For a while, the birds had left my yard. We had some trees fall and their homes were disrupted. But they have made their way back.

This morning, an owl greeted me before the sun came up. It was so loud and clear. Saying that it is welcoming the dawn, just as I was doing. The hummingbirds have been a delight to watch as they swoop in, zipping from place to place. The massive bumblebees are so gentle. I love to inspect their fuzzy bodies and see how they are covered in pollen. They have slowly left the yard, as the cooler weather has set in.

The quiet visitors are the butterflies. They have graced the yard with color, elegance and the message of change. Just as the summer has gone into fall...the butterfly has transitioned. It moves from a caterpillar to the darkness of the cocoon. The transformation of this creature is unmatched. From an interesting thing...into a completely different, fascinating thing.

To me, It speaks to our ability of to move from darkness into light. The light may be slow to shine, but we have such potential. With support, feeling, listening, witnessing, and trying to live more each day...we can find ourselves unfolding. reaching out our wings.

I would love for you to join me to explore change. Individual yoga therapy and the group support of Rise is available to you. These offerings help foster the crispness of change.
