After the Rain, A Foggy Moon

Leave a reply

It was a rainy day Saturday, followed by the densest foggy night. And I felt a sense of foreboding, and also an awakening perhaps, the way fog always seems to be conveyed in books and films. And to witness the full moon under that fog was beautiful! It would wisp in and out of the fog!

But really, this is about Japanese Maples because come on…they’re brilliant at letting go their leaves, so majestically and beautifully. Tellement triste, pourtant tellement beau. Just as with all endings they be. The lettings be…

I’m so glad I captured them before they were to lay in their slumber until spring!

Letting Go of this Year

Leave a reply

Yes, this is the time of year to let go.  To look back at the year and reflect. Ahh, reflection…

And I’ve already gotten a new journal! Funny how I just keep on keepin’ on …

Letting go is a hard concept for my stupid little heart. I’ll hold on to something that’s not even mine to begin with. In hopes that what I feel and dream will somehow make it come true.

Fog surrounded me in a swirl of delusional idealizations…the fog lifts. I am struck with the pain that I have not learned anything about life thus far …

And here is a severed hand doodle I haven’t drawn in quite a while. I hold on so tightly that I don’t even realize I’ve gone and ripped my arm off.

My mom sent me this meditation message from an online mediation group she is in and this was in the message. How much it resonates at this time of year.

Or any time really when you’re struggling with remaining or letting go …

How easy it is to say in your mind, how very hard to let the strings of your heart detach and let go… because you know they will break. But you’ve been here before so it’s nothing a mushy heart can’t handle!
