Here are some film images that Maya captured on 35mm last summer. ✨

It's been a while. In the last few weeks, I have

- dropped into my heart: I have been living in the very cerebral realm this winter, and have noticed recently that I am beginning to center back to the heart. More softness, more compassion, more attention placed on somatic sensation.

- moved into my home: I am in the process of moving, and it feels so good. To have a place to call my own. My goal is to become a steward of the land I am living on, to support the overall health of my little corner of the universe. Milkweed for monarchs; bluebird houses; bee-friendly lawns; permacultural food forests. (If anyone has any suggestions, drop me a line!)

- been super present in my life: I appreciate this digital world. So much. It has allowed me to make beautiful connections, and has catalyzed a lot of growth through such a wealth of wisdom accessible. But these past couple of weeks felt amazing, because I was focused on my community. I took care of dogs, puppies, rabbits, chickens, ducks, cats, plants, and homesteads for my friends while they traveled. Shared gorgeous time with my friends and their little ones. Roamed the sunshine-dappled forest, greeting the spring.

Reading these over, they are all a call to home. To here. To now. To this body. To this place.

We are often distracted.

By these rectangular abysses,

by our own wanderlust,

by the lives of others.

But let us look around.

Look at the love and connection that abundantly awaits us.

With the land, with the community.

How are we showing up?
