I find that something in me really struggles to trust the desire to rest and nest come mid-winter. Maybe you notice something similar happening within you too. Both a wanting for more rest to be renewed and something that resists or mistrusts that longing. Or maybe you notice another part of you that seems to be the permission granter, like you can rest after such and such gets done.

Let’s go slow and make space to listen to the deeper wisdom of these longings held within us and open ourselves to the gifts of grace that come.

I want to suggest that when we go slowly enough, stay close to our body, and not rush to meaning making, we can genuinely be expanded in our waiting. We can make room to be with deferred hope, even if it makes our heart sick.

Let’s practice staying close to our body, as it is felt from the inside, and see if we can be a big enough space to welcome unforced gratitude.

The habit of pausing and saying “hello” to reality as felt in your body can allow you to experience being seen, known, and loved just as you are.

This is a very special beginning for me. I created this attunement just days before I traveled to be at my father’s bedside. My dad was able to hear my voice as we listened to this recording together. It was my papa who introduced me to recording my voice on a mini tape recorder almost 50 years ago. I’ve been shocked by the sound of my voice since then. And I’ve come to so far. I dedicate this beginning to my dad.

Always, we begin again.
