finding old letters

i had a slow friday and i am taking it easy today. i truly LOVE when life is slow and i have time to do the things that make a difference in my life sustainability, community and reflection take time. i deeply enjoy the simple pleasures of life. i love spending time with friends, quiet times, like reading, writing in my journal, sitting while folding laundry, falling sleep watching movies. for some reason it makes a huge difference doing these things in the company of good friends! i need to do more of these things more often. i feel blessed to be surrounded by beautiful like-minded souls! once my lease expires, i really want to live in a community environment. long-term would love to live in a collective.

this morning i found an old letter with this poem that i wanted to share with you all:

Rise up nimbly
and go on your strange journay
to the ocean of meanings.
the stream knows
it can't stay on the mountain.
leave and don't look away
from the sun as you go in whose light
you're sometimes crescent,
sometimes full.
-rumi
