The Spiral Dance

I live my life in widening circles

that reach out across the world.

I may never complete this last one,

but I give myself to it.

Meditation Spiral, Abiquiu 2014

Joanna Macy’s passing has reminded me about the value of community, and the circle of women that was so much a part of my life … now grieving the loss of both and yet feeling deep gratitude for the memories that continue to open my heart, widening my circle.
Life is a spiral…the dots don’t always connect, but the momentum is strong - like gravity pulling me to something unknown. As in my art practice, not knowing what a piece will be before-hand allows the magic to emerge.
Thank you Joanna for sharing your deep passion for life with us.
