Chapter 1
The abundance of the present
Our theme for our first chapter is abundance. It feels right to think of abundance at this time of year. A veritable glut of produce as well as high holiday consumption of a sort, mingling with holiday thinking time. There is nothing like hot weather to make you do nothing but think deeply. Thinking abundant is a wonderful way to live. It sits apart from having abundant, but feels more like eating the best tomato/ice cream/hot grapes from the vine of your life.
Afternoon snacks of bread & butter
This morning, teenagers were lolling at bus stops. Skirts rolled and fringes newly flopped. Small children gripping parents’ hands, new back packs and sparkly pencil cases ready. Today will be a day of days for all. A shift of seasons, but a shift of place and space too.
