“The soul is fully aware of the reciprocal relationship it has with the wild world, with the worlds of spirit and the ancestors. Soul recognizes the innate requirements for maintaining these connections. It was the role of mature individuals to honor our place in the family of things by carrying out the rituals of gratitude and renewal that sustain our relations with the breathing, animate world.

We are meant to feed Life in an ongoing way!

As we mature, we are asked to come into a more reciprocal relationship with the earth. We are called to develop the manners which help sustain the body of this exquisite world. Values such as respect, restraint, gratitude, and courage help to fortify our ability to stand and protect what we love.

We are here to participate in the ongoing creation, to offer our imagination, affection, and devotion to the sustaining of the world. “ -Francis Weller

I want to tell you how much I love February with its 28 days and invitations to love. I could tell you about the years I couldn’t feel anything and how Valentine’s Day felt like a punch in the heart. Instead, I want to tell you how I learned about love in mid-life, how it started with learning how to love myself. I want to tell you how much I value knowing that choosing to love is a daily practice. For me, it’s about the small celebrations— every handwritten note or card, every hug and kiss, every act of kindness, every bouquet of roses and hand picked daisy, every welcome home greeting, every moment of hand-holding, every moment of feeling heard and understood, every word of encouragement, every tender look goes a long way in cultivating deeper love and connection. With or without a sweetheart, I welcome every reason to grow and share more of that. Sending all of you big love today and every day!

Where I live, the sky is currently a blanket of pale grey, without dimension and a bit heavy against the sparse and brittle landscape. During mid-winter it can be hard to remember the beauty and life that rest just beneath the surface. So, in case you’re feeling the weight of winter, here is small offering of hopefulness in the form of a handpicked sprig and a song.

_ ‘Just remember in the winter Far beneath the bitter snow Lies the seed That with the sun’s love, in the spring Becomes the rose’

Lyrics from The Rose by Amanda McBroom

I want to tell you that my Almanac is coming together and how much I love creating curriculum around something that truly moves me. After fifteen years of teaching young learners, it feels quite dreamy to make something for adults. I want to tell you how delighted I feel each time a subscriber takes a chance on this offering. I want to tell you how much it matters to have that external feedback, how it helps me know that I am following the right thread. I want to tell you how much lighter I feel to be following my heart-gut. It feels like a giant leap towards liberation. •

There is more I want to tell you in my newest journal post. Also, did you know you can subscribe to receive Mindful Field Notes and never miss a post? Link to read and subscribe in bio. ❤️
