Eve of the Hibernal Solstice
[ Looking out, Looking in ]
With so much snow, and more falling, my mind has turned inward and thinking about all things while I stand in the quiet of the white landscape that surrounds me. I am deeply savoring the experience, the people, and the place where I find myself right now. I am on my own journey, and have a vantage point of age and distance from the familiar, and am wondering what it all might mean. To me.
I watched the stunning documentary "American Symphony" recently and stopped the film to write down these words from Jon Batiste:
"I have faith that everything can change. I have faith that everything is changing. God giveth and God can take away. There are things I would like to be different but I think I am more like coming to the realization of what genuine acceptance is. And genuine gratitude. And there is an urgency to that realization."
