It’s raining. It sounds wonderful to hear the rain thump and slash and drip and clean and well, rain.
And it seemed as good a reason as any to begin posting again.
It feel likes forever, though it is more like a month, since I shared my thoughts via this blog.

Mostly I am thinking right now as [...]

I’m back from Poland…back to normality, day-day…and that’s lovely (always nice when friends and colleagues say they missed you ;)) but I must admit I’m still digesting…

This year has been a dynamic one. Physically and metaphysically I have been moving a lot. And a little. I have been stuck and I have been unstuck floating in the breeze or catching the winds of an unfurled sail and an unfurled story.
