Spring morning musings
If you are not a regular reader of Recuerda mi Corazon, Rebecca's post from yesterday is sure to convert you. I found it funny, poignant and wise - and perfect for experiencing Spring in a new way. Just as Spring Herself experiences Her seasonal Self in a unique and new way.
I love Sunday mornings - today, the Sun is shining through the window as I type this and the coffee tastes especially good. No one is up yet - even Millie is being quiet, something I appreciate since we are staying with a friend for awhile until I can sort out my next move. I moved out from the family home where I cared for both parents since 2003 - an ending and a new beginning - and truly, I don't have any real clarity with respects to where I want to go.
There's a new and surprising relationship simmering and I'm trying not to be swept away by it nor run from it screaming. Having been divorced for over 20 years, I had assumed that I would live alone for the rest of my life. Not a bad thing, for I enjoy my solitude. I'm not a recluse by any means for I do love interacting with people - but I've never felt alone when living by myself, so it wasn't a frightening prospect for me.
We shall see. I've asked Lyon to help give me some insight and she will be doing a Tarot reading for me later on today. I've had one from her before and it was very accurate in its scope. She has a clear way of reading and interpreting the cards, which is important since my readings are done via email.
Well, I hope each of you has a fabulous first full day of Spring, letting Her freshness and newness be absorbed into your hearts and minds!

Happy Spring, Happy Equinox
It's a beautiful morning in New Jersey and a perfect time to resume blogging. I've missed the blog world and my friends there over the past few months and hope to renew acquaintances in the new Spring season.
The video is from The Silk Road Dance Company. Laurel Victoria Gray and her dancers are simply fabulous. I had the chance to see them in San Francisco and even help model some of her antique dance costumes. That is when I first had the experience of donning a burqua - and I hope it is the last one. It was both horrifying and infuriating at the same time.
Laurel explained that the outside of this particular burqua was very plain, but the inside was made with materials and embroidered with colorful patterns to reflect the wearer. She went on to say that the temperatures inside the burqua could reach 110 degrees F.
At least, I could take the shroud off - women in many countries are forced to wear these when outside of their home, accompanied by a male relative.
Navruz Mubarak!!
