A day for turning inward. I spent some time outside as the snow fell. I needed the stillness. And soon I found myself resting in the space made under the angle of a leaning tree. The support I found in the quiet of the woods and in the strength of the tree allowed a deep release of emotion. Catharsis. And then a greater sense of ease.
Later I watched The Wizard of Oz with Dee Dee. I know I saw it, or parts of it, several times as a child, but I remembered very little of it. Dee Dee is the kind of kid who needs to understand everything, the big picture, as she's watching in order to enjoy a movie. (We agreed that next time she reads the book before she sees the movie.) But I understand her, so I gave away the ending so she could understand the beginning when we were first introduced to all the characters. And then we stopped dozens of times so I could explain what was going on. It feels good to do that because I know what it's like to want all that information and not get it. Maybe that's why I didn't remember much of it.
Everything you need, everything you want, it's all within you. Look inward. A wonderful way to start this solar year. The days are getting longer...
