a november slow-down...

November has always been a crazy busy month.
lots of family birthdays, thanksgiving get-togethers, and 80 hr work weeks at peak season...
it was intense and made a man out of me :)
 
this year was different.
i wished for 'different' in a big way...
and i got it.
 

it was a lay-low kind of time.
as the world transitioned from the end of autumn
to the beginning of winter,
i transitioned too...
 
i took rides,
cooked stuff to eat (barely edible but hey...)
nested, read, sat, walked. 
i retired.
 
then it snowed.
i was going to eat soup (from a can) and light a fire.
but instead, i ran to the beach because i could.
and it was softly beautiful.
 
the snow revealed the shapes and concealed the shit :)
i need more snow in my life
 
 
 
and so it went...
i am wandering through the month of my slow-down
with an openness to whatever may come.
some moments are harder than others to let go of the controls
but i hope to move forward loosely...
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
so here's to November
and here's to transitions...
 
a time to grow and expand
to embrace and release
go forward and retreat
to wander and ponder
 and always, god willing
to dance in the moonlight
