March

What's it like to "re-enter" and "re-engage" with the world post pandemic? In this episode I share some of my reactions, and quote wise observations and advice from psychotherapist, Matt Licata. This episode is also available as a blog post: http://awabisabilife.ca/2021/07/05/way-too-peopley/

Every Friday in my blog, A Wabi Sabi Life, I like to feature a poem from a favourite or lesser known poet, together with one of my photos. Today I read Mary Oliver's "I Worry." Timely still, given the impacts felt by the pandemic, and what it now means to "re-open" and "re-enter" society after a year and a half of social isolation.

Spring has officially arrived! We've enjoyed a run of sunshine and warm weather, melting much of the snow and bringing forth pussy willows. But here in Canadian the prairies, we snow will come again. This episode features a poem I wrote last year, reminding me of the spring's early ways. This episode is also available as a blog post: http://awabisabilife.ca/2020/03/06/the-coming-of-march/

Since publishing my latest blog, A Wabi Sabi Life, and now this podcast, people have asked "What does Wabi Sabi mean?" This is the short story I wrote to explain how Wabi Sabi showed up in my life (and on my forearm as a tattoo!)

"Sometimes you hear a voice through a door calling you." - Rumi Come and listen as I share musings on finding beauty in an imperfect, sometimes broken, mostly well-lived and loved life. Come and be inspired to slow down, to appreciate and allow your life to unfold in all its mess and glory, with all its grace and grit. Come. Your place is waiting. You are welcome here.

The comfort in knowing it's March and Spring is on her way, eventually. This episode is also available as a blog post: http://awabisabilife.ca/2021/03/01/march/
