On my land, overlooking a large pond, is a shed which inspired the following poem and this blog. Writing the poem made me realize I needed a holding place for the work in process which is me. I invite you to join me in visiting this holding place and to bring with you the work in process that is you.
The Shed
Before even a road was laid
the shed was there
nestled amidst
tall pines, scrub trees;
a holding place for lawn tractor,
shovels, hoes, rakes,
and a woman,
who, mowing done,
rested and watched two great blue
herons soar and
nest, their place found,
hers yet to be.

I am excited! You could have knocked me over with a feather! Can’t wait to hear more about The Shed.

I am held. Breathing in the peace of the heron and the permission to simply be, I am. The necessity of the heart for the shelter of knowing and permission is beyond words and yet you have somehow spoken the words.
