Observations as of late

The heart can think of no devotion, greater than being shore to the ocean, holding the curve of one position, counting endless repetition.
— Devotion by Robert Frost

When the water is like glass on the surface, there is most often a quiet rumbling down below. When it arises, it will be powerful. Verbalizing what you need is not needyYour partner, friend, parent, co-worker will most likely thank you for clearing that up for them.

Most anxieties dissolve the moment I'm by the water with a good book in hand. Don't underestimate the sexiness of a man who does laundry after constructing a wall before making dinner but only once the lawn has been mowed. Joel, you are a dream. You amaze me every day.

There is a time for rest. There is a time for restlessness.

It is beneficial to know which one of those you are feeling and honor accordingly.

Happy Sunday, friends. May the week be nourishing & gentle to you. xo, Em
