Friends,
I’ve been quieter than usual in recent days as I took time to finish my new book (!) and then nest with my family for the holidays.
But I didn’t want to let the year quit us before wishing you and yours joy, health, peace, and maybe even continued democracy. Merry everything!
Your support for this newsletter over the last year has meant so much to me. We have big things to think about together over the next year. The Ink is going to be back with gusto at the top of the new year. In the meantime, I leave you with music:
Great way to close it out with music!
Sitting still, observing stillness, nestling inward, sensing the quiet of nature during the season that slows down. Imagining the rootedness beneath the earth. The inverse of the branching outward.
It is as if we are given permission to let go of all expectations. To be with the invisible. To savor the flavor of the deep. Trust. Accepting that the process of life mimics the cycles of the natural world.
