how beautiful life goes round…

I hope you are well as we make our way into the end of April.  Moving this last week, spring seems to be peeking her head. We enjoy seeing the flowers as we walk into our beloved space and leaves budding all along the trees. It has been good to move together once again. My gratitude is abundant.  I feel blessed by the warmth and care of this community. Thank you for embracing me and my family in a time that has been unimaginable. =

These last few days, I am feeling better and even happy in simple ways. I am enjoying life itself and all that I get to do.   I am reflecting on the work of the Ilan Lev Method and how it brought my mother and I closer together. Three years ago when I was training, she became my “practice body” and I would practice on her every week. She loved the work. Somehow it became a beautiful bridge of care and love between us.  The Method works well as a remembering of the innate movement we are all born with. Evenmore, it teaches how to sit beside someone regardless of their pain or labor.   I can see how it prepared me to sit beside my mother no matter her condition.  It is the essence of this work that I am deeply moved by.  I feel the humanity and grace it taught me. I feel how it will continue to teach me.  I see how beautiful life goes round.

I am so excited about these next two months ahead as we make our way to all that will be summer. We have some fun things happening. Stay tuned.
