begin again

by michelle gd

i woke early, moved and breathed my way through yoga, made a cup of herbal tea.  my husband had already left for work, and the kids were {miraculously} still asleep.  i sat with the quiet, feeling its gentle presence move in me, around me, through me.  i watched the light, easing its way through windows, painting swaths upon the floor.

in the constant motion of mothering and laundering and cleaning and cooking, i try so hard to find little nuggets of peace.  it is these nuggets which carry me through my day.  don’t get me wrong…i love the mothering and {mostly} the other stuff.  but it’s so easy to get swallowed up by it all.  i don’t want to be swallowed.  i want to stand on my two feet and welcome each day, welcome the world.  i want to embrace everything and everyone crossing my path.  i want to live with intention.

and so i sit and sip and watch.  i feel the life that fills my heart and my home.
and i begin again.

i want to unfold.  i don’t want to stay folded anywhere, because where i am folded, there i am a lie.  - rainer maria rilke
