This cutie pie led me down the street I live on during my evening walk and then went onto the lawn and sat, hanging out with me for a long while. I was quite taken by this gesture. Whenever some one from the natural world shows up unexpectedly and remarkably, I always take notice. What a sweet moment. He even let me touch his back :-) !

The message I got was to trust and to pay attention. Trust and pay attention. Very good advice :-). Trust life, trust the unfolding, trust the mystery, the uncertainty. Trust what I see and feel.

I’ve been floating a bit in the gap. I’ve never not been busting my ass holding up a retreat center and private practice in the wilds of Western Maine. Now I’m settling into a different kind of wilderness that is filling me in ways I didn’t know were waiting for me.

My focus and energy expenditure is much more concentrated like this little guy. This I appreciate and I feel so much more available to what and who is showing up. Clients. Friends. Family. Mice. Fun.

What a journey. What a trip life is.
