a game, this life


We always want to know the rules. You sit down to a new game and wonder, what are the rules? How do I play? Rules rule our lives.

You always play perfectly, dear friend! And I find this insistence wonderful and more than that childish but adult, mature::it's a must. You got both! Me, too.

I tend to have little tantrums and bigger ones, but lately I've been having lots more clarity and willingness to have life be the way it is. No tantrum necessary.

It's chilly here, brrrr snow for hours; Scout romps in it and I am making granola, and giving myself a lot of faith to live in.

Be heart warmed, earth warmed and warmed by your two hands.

Great expectations are great, but they can get in the way of how it is. How is it? And how is it now?

Play games with life. Wonder what's gonna happen next. Not having to know is a gift you can give yourself this holiday.

Your plants don't know how the weather will be; they just root down and feel whatever comes. ....How about that for a new rule?
