Then and Now

521 am.
Remembering, then and there.
That time.
This photo taken in June 2011.
A flaneur in the mornings.
MA took Italian classes, then.
We were in Florence.
Three years ago.
A sabbatical.
A marker ending my FT work.
A transition to "less is more".
Now, Parker and Ella here.
And a new life discovered.
Heartfelt joys found.
Westhaven and the promise of beginnings.
Colors.
Seeing.
Here and now.
Moments.
Ups and downs.
Betwixt and between.
Few routines and rituals in place.
Carrying familiar and precious inner images, always.
Writing (250 words a day).
The geography of good enough.
New learnings.
Shadow work (Jung).
Attention to what is (Stafford's poems).
"All good, all the time" as PF says.
Very grateful.
