Journey -

Last year, at this time, I was preparing for a journey to be a community.  Surgery was October 12th, and I was scared.  My family gathered.  I felt myself shared with the medical world and with all of you, and that will always be so now.  We don't go backwards.  I am a community, and I am reaching now to shine again all my treasures that nourish my solitude, and to prepare my room for the hibernation time of winter.  I am so excited to have this year be a bit more under my control, and less orchestrated from outside, and yet, I was firmly there as orchestra leader and participant.  It has been a lovely year, and I settle now into dusting what has been resting all this year, and bringing it to new, soft shine and light.
