Be content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.

The transformation process is our job, so that we are not ruled by fear but by love.

Resiliency
Resilience: The capacity to recover quickly from difficulties..
These last few weeks have been trying to say the least. We are all okay, but damn.. Every where I turn something requires my heartfelt attention. I am grateful to have such love and the capacity for such love that I want to give it and do so easily. I come back again and again to stores of strength I forget I have until I need them. The one place I am struggling to give the attention due is to myself as I know it will come in time - right now, I am wondering when.. I am going to be honest folks and say I am tired. I am worn slap out. I need a break.. I am not depressed. I am not sad. And I am not lonely or longing for anything other than some span of time that I can call my own.. I am oddly content even in the midst of the chaos of living.. And, we have been in the thick sticky of life. If you see me or think of me.. or see us or think of us.. send a little extra squeeze or well wishes on this glorious fall breeze. For now, I'm going to zip up my hoodie and enjoy the setting sun.

I am content; that is a blessing greater than riches; and he to whom that is given need ask no more.
~ Henry Fielding
