January….time
to hibernate, time to detox, time to regroup.
It’s a new beginning and a time to let go of things that I no longer
need or want. It’s been a time for me to
remember to “live in the moment.” In
2013 I began writing a “small stone” every day in January, that is, very short piece of writing (prose or poetry) that
precisely captures a fully-engaged moment. Well, isn't that what I am trying to do, stay
in the moment? So now, year
number 4, I guess it’s a tradition. I’m
still on my journey to live in the here and now, to experience life as it
happens without judgments, and to practice compassion. This is not an easy path but it is the path
the Goddess calls me to follow.

those words I read resonate in my soul, *‘Practicing kindness is as important
as practicing mindfulness-mindfulness without kindness is not mindfulness.’”
