Keeping the Dream

Well, I thought, perhaps, I’d separate topics into different blogs, but it just doesn’t feel right. I like coming here every day, and I find everything is so interrelated, I hate compartmentalizing my thoughts into separate blogs. It’s hard enough to have to create categories on one blog, but to spread everything out across different websites…I’d rather not.

I think I’ve gone through life fragmented long enough. It’s time for wholeness and this blog needs to reflect that.

So I’m bringing back my posts on growing into an older woman and consolidate my posts on children in one place - here. I’ll post more homeschool specific stuff on the appropriate board and keep my relational aggression board up, because it draws a lot of people who are primarily interested in only that topic. But for everything else, I will write here.

The thread that connects all the topics I address here is the healing journey. It’s unifying perspective of hope and transformation that I bring to this blog. I am, after all, a stubborn idealist.

I offer no apologies for it. If you’re going to be something, be it. These days do not call for shallow waters or indecision. Dive. The depths of our passion and commitment await us.

Keeping the Dream

On the dying morning glory vines, there is one flower that blooms. It’s surrounded by tiny pale leaves and larger ones that languish with yellow and brown spots. But you can see more sky through the leaves than green now.

These vines had bloomed their blossoms way too fast, and now all that’s left is one open flower and a number of closed buds. I do not know if they will bloom. There does not seem to be much energy left for that.

But this sight does not depress me, though I would wish for better conditions for these vines and that flower. What speaks to me is how we are like that. How even in the most unfavorable conditions, there are those who can bloom anyway.

And for some reason, today, that makes me smile.
