In the month of January I chose the word DISCARD in my life not just material thgnis, but thoughts, ideas and issues that are not working for me anymore. I thought one month of DSCARDing was enough. However, it took three months instead of one! The weather also had an impact in my desire to not go outdoors and stay in the sanctuary of my home so more DISCARDing took place just simply because I was inside most of the time.Tomorrow the month of April begins, the writings of Parker Palmer on Seasons speak to me that perhaps I need to be in the FLOW like a stream and be carried by the possibilities that life has in store for me in this season Spring- In my own life, as my winters segue into spring, I not only find it hard to cope with mud but hard to credit the small harbingers of larger life to come, hard to hope until the outcome is secure. Spring teaches me to look more carefully for the green stems of possibility: for the intuitive hunch that may turn into a larger insight, for the glance or touch that may thaw a frozen relationship, for the stranger’s act of kindness that makes the world seem hospitable again.
