Tonight I am so grateful for forest bathing… laying on some moss among the sprawl of trees… being quietly infinitely loved.

I am grateful for being held… by moss… by earth… by tender arms of another human.

I am grateful for an email I got last week and that it lured me in with its title about the difference between karmic and dharmic relationships. I am so grateful to be evolving a major karmic relationship in my life through the presence of a dharmic relationship showin up and being so filled with ease and grace. I am so grateful for what inner work I’ve done to be able to receive this… to co-create it… it offer it… all of it.

I am grateful for the pressure of entanglements coming at me from all angles and to some degree feeling like a pirate with a shiv ready to strke if anyone makes any further move to cut off my own legs in my own life. I am grateful to laugh at this part of myself and see them in all their defensive glory … and call them into softness with the rest of me for the sake of sovereignty. I am grateful for how this act with myself has played out interpersonally.

I am grateful to have my kid fall asleep in my lap … that he is such a squishy ball of love … and such an inspiration of emotional honesty.

I am grateful for getting lost in time this morning in the forest with all the dogs and my companion. I am grateful for new trails and no trails. I am grateful the dogs licked my face so much that I was inspired to wash my face in the flowing creek coming down off the mountain.
