beautiful asking….
Last month, Relyn of “http://comesitbymyfire.blogspot.com/”
asked me if I’d like to write a guest post during her April celebration of passion.
Sure! I’m pretty passionate so I’ll just plunk it down on paper
and that will be fun….nice and easy.
Okay, so my passion is for………well, it’s just so much.
Um.
Hmmm. What is my passion?
I didn’t know where I’d land or what twists and turns would get me there,
but it was beautiful to be asked
so I headed inward to explore.
By the way, Relyn is a teacher
….one of the ones we all wish we’d had.
Her heart is a gentle fireside that invites others to unfold
and let down their dreams for the seeing,
like a long, sandy beach that beckons us to walk a little further
in wonder over what we may find next.
Something about her asking soothed me deeply.
Maybe even healed something.
Like all good teachers, Relyn has a way
of helping others with their becoming.
Becoming is such a messy process
….not predictable or perfectly plotted.
Gifted teachers learn to work with, not against, it.
I want to become like these.
We reveal our trueness to the curiuous,
not the controlling.
I want patience and wonder
to replace assumption and prediction,
I’m so grateful for souls that ask.
Come sit by her http://comesitbymyfire.blogspot.com/2011/04/passion-for-ripples.html fireside
and see what I found,
if you like.
( passion for ripples!)
-you’ll likely find yourself returning to visit
Relyn’s gentle place
again and again.

I loved your post at Relyn's blog — and I'm so glad you enjoyed mine. I must say, it does sound like we are rather kindred spirits — and I just love that!
A poignant reflection on the nature of becoming…'I want patience and wonder
to replace assumption and prediction,…' beautiful lines.
Goodmorning Beautiful…you look very pretty this day. And your becoming…those lines are awsome. I'll have a peek at the blog you recomend.
May your day be blessed.
And thanks for the kind words on my blog yesterday my friend.
Hugs Dagmar
beautiful words, jennifer. yes life is so messy & i keep trying to make it unmessy. such a good reminder to embrace the mess. i keep thinking about those tulips! how everything we plant right this minute will effect eternity… and we have to wait and wait. and how so many of the blessings we are reaping now were sown so long ago… always love your words.
Your words are filled with promise, and hope.
Sometimes we forget
that we can truly be.
You are beautiful, in every way!
I'm stopping by via Relyn's "living passionately" series. I enjoyed your post there and love the look and feel of your own blog. Wishing you wild…
