Lots of commotion going on around here. End of semester exams. Graduation. Packing two college apartments. Graduation. Workshops for mom. Graduation. Moving grown children back home for the summer. Graduation. Drivers licenses! Graduation. Did I mention GRADUATION!
The tapestry of our lives are woven of everyday moments, some challenging and most joy-filled. Staying present to these moments is my constant practice. This collage symbolizes my disparate energies as they each vie for my attention. The anguished little angel flies around in a tizzy while the cool. calm serenity of the Buddha stops the mental ruminations in their tracks. And the ruins of the Ancient Agora stand strong and fast. Grounded deep in it's prehistoric roots, whispering all the while, "This too shall pass. This too shall pass."
But check out the smile or smirk on that Buddha... he looks so happy! Graduation... can you believe it????? You're house will be back a-buzzing all summer long... good stories, losing track of the family... all the stuff you love as the mom that you are.
