Seedlings of Sprout
Standing at the edge of the forest, she slowly takes a single step backward. Her foot fixes firmly upon the gentle cushion of verdant pasture behind her. It welcomes her questioning step tenderly but firmly into its assuring embrace. She knows she is safe with one foot planted securely in the meadow behind her. Knowing the other foot will eventually follow in time, she exhales. Relief pouring out of the fabric of her lungs as they perceive their ability to breathe again.

Explore Your Wonders
There are many things I could be doing. That long dirty checklist is fast in growing. Yet I live mostly in a savasana pose, dreaming about the adventures I’m living in a parallel life.

Full disclosure here: I’m pretty much 99% left brained. I’m more analytical than creative, although I do try to keep an open mind and will include thinking outside the box when I can, if only to come up to a logical conclusion.

As he looked around where he sat, another gentleman spoke up wiping sleep and sand from his eyes.
