This journey we are on together is not a straight, direct line… @Amy Eiges helped me remember that. So, to get that idea into my body, I went and walked a nearby labyrinth. The physical experience of winding the circuitous route and, just when one feels farthest from the center, you are actually on the turn that takes you right into the center was so reassuring. While there I witnessed the friends and family of a man create a memorial flower mandala. They all brought flowers from their gardens and each placed theirs to help create this beautiful tribute. What a reminder it was that we are lucky to be here, in these bodies, doing the hard work and experiencing the beauty. It also reminded me of the colorful progress tracking circles that @deletedmember and others post! And because it is a day in the Summer of 2023 in Vermont, there was rain and sun simultaneously and many rainbows! I appreciated all the poetic symbolism to keep the faith and keep on keeping on!
