vulnerabilities...

'keep your shell about you...' said, the snail.


learning to balance protection and trust.

knowing when you're in safe hands.

knowing when it's safe to come out.

change

'The only way to make sense out of change 
 is to plunge into it, move with it, 
 and join the dance.'

 ~ Alan Watts



the above image is from a few weeks ago, 
we had some unexpected spring snow here in wales,
a shock to the system at first..
but up in the hills where the only visible footprints were of...
sheep..crows..and the midnight fox...
natures woven magic...
delighted the senses...
and gave the leg muscles agood workout...
after playing knee deep among mothers crunchy snowlight : )

gentle light

'The secret and the sacred are sisters.
 When the secret is not respected...
 the sacred vanishes.
 Consequently...
 reflection...
 should not shine too severe
 or aggressive a light...
 on the world...
 of the soul.'

~ John O'Donohue,
  Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom

silently drawn...

'Let yourself be silently drawn.. 
 by the strange pull.. 
 of what you really love. 
 It will not lead you astray.'

 ~ Rumi
