A year ago this past May, we closed a beautiful chapter in our lives, and opened another. We walked across the north of Spain, and along the way, we found our way home. Our intention at the time, was to take a year to refine our school in its new environment, and resume teaching again this fall. My body, and my mind have told us otherwise. Until then, I work with my hands. I walk in the woods. I meditate and write. I rest and heal.
Be well, and enjoy the many subtleties in your life, and in your work,
Robert
"I no longer want to be resilient. I don't want to simply bounce back from things that hurt me or cause me pain. Bouncing back means returning to where I stood before. Instead, I want to go beyond the hurts and the darkness. The first step towards genuine healing from my mental illness was when I came to trust and believe that there was a beyond. Now I reach for beyond every day, in every encounter, in every circumstance. I seek to go where I have never travelled. I wake with the vision of a purposeful day, filled with adventures and teachings. Then I take the first step and try to make it beyond." - Richard Wagamese
