(Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico, Journeying)

Have you ever been able to sojourn for days or weeks or months, in a season of quiet and stillness? Have you gifted your Self with the time to reflect. . . What do I want? What am I learning? What changes are now possible, as I move from here to there? To make good use of respite and reflection, we must trust that there is no need to hurry the process. We must remember to breathe and stay grounded in the whispers of our hearts. We must take our time re-filling the spaces, re-positioning what matters, and letting the rest go.
