Hello—
…and welcome!
And today the month of May ends. This past week has brought huge climate upheaval here in the states. As we've seen over the past few days, the power of wind and water can neither be denied nor taken for granted. The one common denominator in these weather phenomena is that chaos has cut a wide swath, perhaps to remind us that once we're in chaos, there is no place to go but back into order.
It's a small consolation for those who have lost all but their lives—and yet—it offers the first glimmers of new possibilities and new ways of being. Here's to chaos and the lessons it has to teach us.
Coming back to the practice at hand…
This week, I took a look at our all to common tendency to hide and I considered the concept of mulch and how it might apply to our lives.
"Hiding" (2:34)—There is an ironic energy to the practice of hiding. So often, what we're so intent on concealing is the one thing that tends to surface. (YouTube Link or Facebook

"Mulch" (2:52)—Though I'm no gardener, I like the notion of what mulch does—provide a protective covering that helps create something new. It offers another practice for those times of upheaval and change in our lives. (YouTube Link or Facebook Link)
