It's been fun.
It has been a long while since I have written.
The last few months have been full of promise, change, reflection, heartbreak and smiles. All messy and tangled in this scrambly head of mine as I try to figure out; what next?
Sounds like big drama? It's not. It is just that slow and endless process of growing.
Maybe that is the point. For whatever the emotion of the moment, (and holy shit, it does feel like it is a change'n moment to moment) the big picture is good. We are responsible for our selves. Life isn't an accident. Sometimes the best choices are the hardest. Knowing that while it hurts like nothing I have ever felt right now, the only way to get closer to what I want, is this. Is to do this right now. And hope. For what you ask?
Just hope.
I started this blog when my life took a big change; when I moved up north. Now two and a half years later; things are changing again.
This time... thoughts on the inside.

Soul food.
Yoga class tonight. Room is hot, humid and dimly lit. Smells like clean bodies and sounds like breath. Our teacher says as she opens the night's practice;
"Find that sweet spot..."
This somehow took hold and settled into me and I smiled, hands over heart, all breath and beats. That smile on my lips held soflty for the hour and the unsettled and wanting feeling of these last few days was briefly satiated.
Made me think of one of my favorite good nights. 'Slaap Lekker" (yes, in part on account of the speaker), but also for the sensation it generates. Basically it means sleep yummy. A delicious thought; to leave the sweet spot, still warm inside and settle for yummy sleep.
I am full.

Here.
Here is Calgary.
Here is this funny place in time and literal space where I am unsettled and getting settled all at once.

At a loss for words
(yeah when does that ever happen for me?)
Last shift today.
Had made a deal with myself; two yrs. I started Aug.4th 2006. Two years plus one day. I feel like I have done whatever it was I came here to do.
Am officially onto the next adventure.
Oh holy shit.
Sad and excited in an equal mix. When head settles a little I will say more.
For now it's just thank-you.
