Hi All! Just popping in to share a little magic today!

This morning, the day unexpectedly opened up space I had not anticipated having - Thank you!!

Instantly, I found myself heading out the door for walk - how good it felt to feel the sun, the breeze, to see all the blooming spring flowers, butterflies and birds bopping around in the neighborhood. I came to a place in the back of the neighborhood that backs up to a preserve where there are clearly marked No Trespassing signs...which somehow have stopped me from actually going exploring in there in the past...a simple sign!! Today I unmistakeably felt to go explore as there was a clear path into the woods cut out by the masses of deer that inhabit the area.

At first there was some hesitation around the snakes that might be in the tall grassy entranceway to the woods - but I cautiously kept going in. I could not believe what I found when I got beyond the grass (the place that stirred my fear) - pure magic...sunlight beaming through tall trees, birds everywhere and just a crystal clear vibe of harmony. Going deeper I looked to the left and saw a massive arcing tree with 10 wooden steps attached to it...I felt sad about the nails in the tree but also clearly invited to step up...I only made it to the 3rd step with my feet...with my head up above the fifth...apprehension kicked in as one of my kids was at home sick by himself and I was already up fairly high in the tree. Funny as a kid I use to climb way way up to the tippy top of the trees but then couldn't find my way down...my mother would have to come out and bring a ladder - lots of scraped up tummies as I nervously scraped my way down.

As I left the woods, I felt so grateful for finding this whole new space just on the edges of my existing one...what a gift! Just as I emerged from the woods a solid black cat dashed in front of me across the road - as if it was closing a portal as I stepped out...that's really the sense I got as crazy as that may sound. Walking home I saw a green anole (type of lizard) - not commonly seen and the only ones native to the area...they are seemingly where they belong. I felt that about the space I entered in the woods.

So so much for me to see in this ...the space and energy that exists right here, right now at the edges of the more boxed in, predictable, routine one...as I was approaching my house, i picked up a branch with two blue olive looking pods on it...like an invitation I felt...an olive branch extended to inhabit more of that space, by ascending and descending the tree of life...scraped up tummies and all...lots coming up about trusting support and primarily being that support for myself - in it all, lovingly allowing what needs to arise.

thanks for the space to share!

With love,
Jen
