lately.

Life lately has been far more mobile posts than written blog entries; a pull to be really in it and less concerned with documenting.  Sometimes, for me, being really present means stepping away from the blessing (and occasional curse) that is technology and simply having every moment of my life as it unfolds. Ride the waves, embrace what comes up. Face every gift or challenge as they arise with a patient heart and a willingness to learn. Giving full permission to self and others to laugh, play, sing, dance, travel.

But life lately? Well, it's been lovely.

It's been baskets of fries and fancy cocktails by the fireside.

And it's been sunsets over misty mountain coastlines.

Life lately inspires cartwheels on beautiful beaches (extra credit for pointed toes).

And hikes to quiet corners of the forest (where I awkwardly perch on rocks in front of water falls?).

It's playing childhood games with the people I originally played them with as a youth...including those same spidery fingers :)

And life lately is fish tacos prepared by handsome boys, while growing puppies watch hopefully for stray scraps.

Life lately is so lovely I almost feel it's as if I'm getting a nod from the Universe to say I'm in the flow, deeply--a nod that my deep breaths, shifts of perspective and trust in something bigger than me having my back have clicked a force in motion that allows me to genuinely enjoy the vulnerability of the unknown instead of worrying about it.

And the unknown is still very much the unknown. No plan. No timeline. No rush to determine either one.

But I am very, very grateful for it. And I'm here for all of it.

Seems like there really is something to just showing up for life.

Every day.

love and light,

Trish
