I recently moved into a new apartment that will be my temporary home for this year. As I connect with this new place and myself within it ~ from the changing rhythms in my daily routine, to new neighbors (human and non-human alike), to new light, sounds and places of stillness ~ I am learning yet again what it means for me to "root into" HOME......inside and out.

A small, yet potent aspect of this understanding: when I feel my rootedness and belonging in my body and on this earth, my resiliency within life seems to expand with strength and possibility.
