Rhythms

       It's been almost a month since last I've written.  I'm impressed with how quickly I can lose the rhythms of life, the regularity of practices that nourish the spirit – writing, running, working out, meditating, connecting with friends and family, loving a partner.  I notice the chaos, inside and out, that comes with being out of synch with those important rhythms.

       I've been thinking lately about the rhythms and practices of love.  Next week, as I spend time in the wilderness with five fabulous friends – an annual and cherished rhythm in our lives – I hope some of these thoughts crystallize into writing I can share with you upon returning. 

       I've missed being with you.
