Another Phase In My Journey Into The West…. March 25, 2012. Driving up the Columbia Gorge Highway, I could feel my entire self relax. I was immersed in river and stones, budding trees and moss covered rocks, mountains brushed with snow, winter brown grasses … and the sky, oh the sky that spread out before me and behind me. Not yet a Montana sky, but closer than I’ve been in seven long months. This entry was posted in Uncategorized. Enter your comment here. Address never made public). ReTurn Day One: Lett...

Another Phase In My Journey Into The West…. Monthly Archives: March 2012. March 26, 2012. Yesterday was the 5th anniversary of my dad’s passing. That anniversary was one of the reasons I chose to leave Eugene on that particular date. I wanted to associate that leave-taking with the finality and wonder of my dad’s leave-taking of this life. He writes poignantly about choosing to stop chemo, struggling with resisting dependence on others, realizing that cancer was the beginning of a long road with only one...

Another Phase In My Journey Into The West…. Monthly Archives: January 2013. January 1, 2013. The first day of the new year — 2013 — is almost at an end. Today was the first time I’d been out of the house in nine days — the flu hit me on Christmas Eve and kept me down ’til today. I’m moving slow, but feeling good … grateful. May this year be one where we all draw closer together — where we raise our voices together in harmony –where we learn to be quiet enough to truly hear each others stories...The humve...

Another Phase In My Journey Into The West…. Monthly Archives: August 2011. August 14, 2011. Or in Yiddish, Oy! This quote from an essay by Steve Silberman. Silberman goes on to say:. But Buddha, schmuddha. One of my favorite Zen koans is “who was Buddha’s teacher? 8221; You don’t need a spiritual parent to tell you that contentment is elusive and fleeting, that every thing and every place you treasure is in the process of being transformed into something unrecognizable….

Zero. | Into The West

Another Phase In My Journey Into The West…. Two … One …. March 24, 2012. Today is my personal equinox — balanced on the edge of past and future —. Standing on the edge, for just a moment, before the balance breaks and it’s time to move on. I didn’t plan it this way, but I started my count at 21 and end today at 0. For those who know the tarot, this is the place where the ouroboros bites its tail, where completion of a cycle (World 21) turns into the the new beginning (Fool 0). Two … One …. Presidential c...

Another Phase In My Journey Into The West…. New Year 2013 →. May 12, 2012. The skies were open and endless. The mountains grew on the horizons like dreams of snow and rock and cloud. There was so much space that I felt, at times, dizzy from the immensity of emptiness. Ravens replaced their cousins, the crows, and foxes barked in the long, slow evenings.

Loss | Into The West
https://emmaintothewest.wordpress.com/2012/04/25/loss-2
Another Phase In My Journey Into The West…. A Month In →. April 25, 2012. In the past week, a number of my friends have had to deal with the loss of a loved one, both human and non-human companions, children, parents, and other family and friends. We all know loss … and grief. We know, but often cannot trust, the sometimes long process of healing, of coming to terms with that empty space in our lives. One friend wrote to me:. 8220;I wish I had more to say.”. I grieve with and for my friends. I feel t...

Another Phase In My Journey Into The West…. Monthly Archives: April 2012. April 27, 2012. Today is a little celebration — it’s been a month since I arrived back in Butte.
