Gradually slowing down and enjoying the stillness.
Even a semi-seclusion (yes, I’ve been on email a little bit) can be so powerful.
And the wonderful thing is how doing a little makes me want to do much more.
Seclusion day #2
Seclusion day #1
I won’t have a lot to share these next few days, as Ramesha and I are taking seclusion.
Of course, if something comes up I’ll share it.
Past my bedtime
There’s something about being in seclusion this week between Christmas and New Year’s that has me once again staying up much too late at night.
Of course, I had hoped for the exact opposite; that with plenty of free time for rest and meditation, I would actually get to bed earlier than usual.
Ha!
Snowflakes on my mind
Second day of seclusion and the highlight was taking a walk while it was snowing.
It was pretty magical. I found myself thinking of “My Favorite Things” (“…snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes!”) and trying to catch snowflakes on my tongue (not so easy to do!).
I even stopped a few times to get a video of the big fluffy flakes coming down all around me. Except…I forgot to switch to video, so ended up with still photos of…trees! 😂
Then I saw this beautiful photo and quote posted by a friend on Facebook and knew it was the perfect image for today’s post!
Snowy seclusion
I’m very much enjoying our post-Christmas seclusion time.
All this snow makes it even more special; providing extra motivation to stay warm and cozy at home.
Except that the build up to Christmas severely disrupted my walking routine and I’m feeling the need to get back to it.
So, I bundled up and took a (careful!) walk in some rather deep snow.
In seclusion
The woodland devas are secluding and so are we!
“Social distancing” already meant more time at home, though we did think we would be heading out to sing for Sunday service this morning. Divine Mother had other ideas, however!
The snow kept three out of four of us Joy Singers at home, so Prashad got to do all the music by himself…and rose to the challenge beautifully. 🙂
In the meantime, Ramesha and I stayed inside and watched it snow…
