The Windy Road

News continues to bombard me, us. A friend has cancer, another has lost a beloved pet. Someone is brokenhearted, someone has lost a job. The news about climate change is devastating. The political climate is toxic. Life is a winding road.

In the midst of it all, we need to hold on to our compassion and our bravery. We need to see the light on the path. We need to find places of wholeness and conversation. Last week I was at Rolling Ridge for several days of meetings and then on part of a yoga retreat. Both the conversations with colleagues and with new and old friends nurtured my spirit for the road ahead.

Someone has said that this is not a marathon but a relay. We work hard for the things that matter and we rest. We listen hard to the heartbroken and we rest in silence.

It is a windy road but there is grace on the journey.

Blessings,

Cynthia
