Surrender to Surprise


Rousseau, Tiger in a Tropical Storm (Surprised!)

My boat strikes something deep.
At first, sounds of silence, waves.
Nothing has happened;
Or perhaps everything has happened
And I am sitting in my new life.
— Rumi

As you can tell if you’ve read it, I’m currently reading Christina Baldwin’s “Seven Whispers“. It’s a simple little book with a lot to say about spirit. I’m enjoying the read, and looking forward to reading her journaling books as I get ready to start a new year with a bit of a new approach to my own journaling here.

My surprise for the evening is that my 16 year old prefers going to dinner with me tonight over going to see “Narnia” with a group of his friends. Huh. Imagine that…

  1. I love that your son wanted to be with you…that is special and rare. I have a daughter who will soon be 18 and I love it when she cuddles with me, or goes to have a hot tub with her ol’ mom.

    Found your lovely blog through the dharma bums…my buddies.
