What’s connecting with you today?
What’s lighting you up – however bright or subtle the light?
What are you set on doing so that your BEing is fulfilling?
Today, like many days, I was in my yard early. Living between two steep mountains in Missoula, the sun is a slower kiss to the day when I wake. The dusky light filters in, and when the sun finally breaches the summit, it’s a full on gift of vitamin D-rich warmth.
Yardening as I call it is one of my deeply content ‘places’, states really – flow? Heck yea, let’s go!
Smelling the cool air and whatever scents my human olfactory system can pick up…..feeling the chill before the sun, then the growing warmth once it peeks over the lip…listening to the birds, the rumblings of a world coming into another day, knowing there was activity aplenty while I slept.
We’re permaculturing the front yard, rehabbing it from years of unhelpful and toxic lawn “treatments”
To acknowledge and then act on what makes you deeply content, to what you do to move about in this world – and I don’t mean within a screen or computer or device – is what makes us more connected people.
Disconnection has a place.
From the wrong situations.
From unhealthy or uninspiring relationships.
In order to connect with other beings and doings.
Yardening is one of my most full-filling states of being. It’s a zen for me, like I teach to audiences in keynotes and workshops, retreats and programming with clients to know their zen.
To meaningfully engage in states that fuel the lives we want to live we prolong good health, we level set our bodily systems so that we are more truly us, in all ways.
Knowing this about yourself is good, healthy, wise. Sharing it with other people so they can support you is also wise; tell them so they can help support you too.
The gifts of connection are abundant. Tap into your own wisdom and be more self-connected.
