…see where they take me. Then, during yesterday’s acupuncture deep rest, I heard the word “glean.” These two words, and all that arises with them, make lovely partners for right now. Our lives are overflowing with offerings.

True autumn weather has arrived here. Change. New perspectives, and looking at the old with new eyes. For the last few days, the word “metanoia” keeps popping up- really more like passing in front of my eyes, like ticker tape. I always pay attention to words…sit with them, create with them,

I was one of many in the audience this afternoon (sold out crowd) viewing this recent documentary. I hope, for most of us, it’s just the beginning of a promise to learn more about St. Louis, and all aspects of our history.
