Finding your circle

There is a zen saying that you only know the circle of water you are in and how true that is. Today, after a restless afternoon of Tin not wanting to nap, me trying to get all the myriad scheduling and tasks done, and then trying to relax into my circle, we took a walk on the bayou and came across friends and their son – both boys have grown so much in the last six months they were hard to recognize as one pushed the other on the tricycle and the other wanted to try on the other’s shoes – it’s crazy. We are in the stream of life and it is moving with no pauses, no stops, just onward.

I could belabor my funk but instead I’ll look forward and know that the current is carrying me and I can say WHEEEEEE or I can say WHOAAAAA. And the words I choose matter.
