A weekly peek backwards and a look ahead, from my little corner of the blogosphere…are you ready?
It’s been rather a big week, for me, in small and deep ways…
I know. That’s not very descriptive, is it? Best I can do, though, so there it is. Small, and deep. Like a trickle of lava, or water running beneath the desert…vital and powerful, but as yet unseen…
I get this way, when some epiphany, or a multitude of them, is about to break over me. It’s especially potent when the children and I are on disynchopated schedules…right now, I’m going to bed at 5am or so, and they’re staying up past noon. I don’t need as much sleep as either of these swiftly growing young people, so I’ve had a few hours each afternoon and evening to lose myself in my own projects, my own interior life…
Something’s brewing…and that’s all I can say about that.
