Magic, Connection, & Freedom

Greetings,

Anybody else standing in their living room in their underwear this morning, thinking “Wow its JULY already?!”

Like, really and truly: where has this year gone?! ;D

In moments like these, I strive to balance the existential overwhelm of the swift passage of time by grounding in the macrocosm of the present moment. Whilst standing in my underwear in the living room, I look down at the cup of green tea in my fingers. I come back to my breath. I see the reflection of the spider plant in the surface of the tea. I take a sip.

So, yes, this year has seemed to fly by on golden wings. That’s fine. Create time to look back along the string of Pearls, those special moments that add up to create a glistening thread back in time, a precious chain of past realities. These Pearls of experience can be challenges, victories, joys, sorrows, and connections made. I challenge you to focus on the 51%+ of the Pearls that are positive for you. Only you know what those are exactly. Cherish those Golden moments in these Golden Years.

Come get up my baby

Don’t let me hear you say life’s taking you nowhere

Angel,

Come get up my baby

Run for the shadows in these Golden years

I’ll stick with you baby for a thousand years

Nothing’s gonna touch in these Golden Years

-David Bowie

What does it mean to run for the shadows? Well, in July on the Easter Slope of the Rockies, that means find some shade - sip something chilled - observe - listen - engage.

Cheers,

Amanda
