Summer, then

I really should live somewhere with more sun.

Winter ended alongside my second Saturn return and soon after, my 60th birthday. At the time I just felt exhausted, worn down and hopeless. My SAD went up to 11 this year - aided and abetted by circumstances and grief, and seemed to go on and on and on.

Then with the sun, came life. Potential.

I’m still processing the transition while being in it. It doesn’t feel like, “Here comes something new”; it feels like, “Now I can truly see what was already there.” Like seeing a loved one after years, it’s filling my heart that I haven’t lost my dreams, my passions, my self.

I’m living very much in my body right now. Barefoot, good food, SUN!, relaxation, all the senses, and always forward motion (this has become a key thing for me - literally moving forwards - and I’m going to be writing about how that goes for ADHD people).

When my hands are ready to leave the dirt, the stream, the skin, the dog fur, the juicy fruit, the fresh bread, the plants, and get to the keyboard I’ll be back here more regularly. For now it’s Notes and Stories while I restock on what nourishes me.

Much love.
