“There are no straight lines in nature….” Antoni Gaudi

In my life I have faced curve-balls and crossroads, some have taken me to desired destinations, like higher education and my career. At times however, the path forward has proven confusing.

There have been twists and turns in these 70 years that have left me reeling – all knotted up – with no clear sense of what to do next. I have learned it is up to me to search within my tangles and listen to my inner guides and teachers for answers.

Through it all, I have sought the light and found myself upright and unfurling…

…able to bow with the pain inherent in being sentient, and strong enough to spiral out of depression.

Along the way, others have provided space and place for me to explore and unwind,

to find safe harbor…

to be me…

…here and now.
