some thoughts on motherhood, marriage, learning to love my own face in the mirror, wondering about the lady in the tangerine coat in the bean aisle at the market, writing - the usual suspects.

Watch And Witness
Open the door to all of what comes up.
This is what I tell people during writing or yoga practice.
Sounds like a plan but let's face it. This is difficult. The push to edit our feelings is huge.
I am working on allowing it all to come up.
Sounds like vomiting, I know; some moments feel like that. Others, light as a feather. Easy, no pushing. Then, labor. Then, a white puffy cloud in a blue sky. Then rain.
I am learning, at this late date, to watch and witness.
"I feel like I'm in labor," I told Michael the other morning.
He looked at me, tilting his head like the dog?
Doors are opening all the time.
This is a good mantra when feeling closed in, antsy and impatient, or believing you are compass-less.
Doors are opening all the time.
Which brings me back to something I've probably written here before but am being urged (by whom or what?) to repeat ~
hint: the cage is not locked.
