This has been perhaps the most wild and soulful year of my life, well beyond my control, rich with guiding synchronicities and opportunities to meet the present moments fully, in service to myself and all. Dad passed late in the summertime of 2013. In the fall, Brother and I emptied his house and closed countless accounts from his life, while tending to our own in the spaces in between. By winter 2014, there was nothing in particular to do anymore. We tended well to Dad's life, death and his many things left behind, finding balance within ourselves as best we could along the way. And then there was space to be with my own life, space for me to tend my own sacred fire.
Each week was like its own potent ceremony with big stories to tell and lessons to incorporate. It takes a village to die well, I learned from Dad's passing. It also takes a village to live it well forward. These are snap shots representing big questions and lessons on my journey after Dad, all supported by an incredibly rich village ecology. In short, I'm a gifted orphan belonging to all of my relations. Thank you! With all of me, from my mind, heart, body and spirit aligned, I give thanks to all of our relations...
