You are more than the choices that you've made, the sum of your past mistakes, and the problems you create. It's not about what you've done but what's been done for you, not where you've been, but where your brokenness brings you to.

The Summer Day

Mary Oliver

Who made the world?
Who made the swan, and the black bear?
Who made the grasshopper?
This grasshopper, I mean-
the one who has flung herself out of the grass,
the one who is eating sugar out of my hand,
who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down-
who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes.
Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face.
Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away.
I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down
into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,
which is what I have been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done?
Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?

I am going through a time in my life that I don't feel like talking about. I am very busy, tired, and trying very hard to do all the right things. I will have something to say soon. Until then, I'm sorry.

Massage and all

I am very happy with the choice to go to massage school. I am even more glad to be going to Florida School of Massage. I can see that I am learning so much more than what other schools offer.

I think what I like most about this whole thing is the idea or the reality that I can help people feel well. Where I once saw people I now see scapula's and clavicles. I can't help it. I like it.

I will be out of school in November. I will by then have given many massages to many people. I hope they all imprint with me, and we have a long nurturing, healthy walk through this life. I am looking forward, and I haven't felt like this in a long time.

Life is Weird

I am trying to learn the difference between needs, wants, and if any of it matters at all. I am leaning toward the latter. Going to work. Have a nice day or night.
