This is where I am. My life is a garden. For years I didn’t know the difference between weeds and flowers—some years I just didn’t care. So I planted a lot of weeds and pulled a lot of flowers. One day in 1997 I woke up in a briar patch. With mentors (and spiritual guides) I slowly learned the difference. They said, when you’re not sure just sit on your hands and do no more harm that day. Eventually the briar patch turned into a beautiful garden. In 2001 I met someone to share my life/garden with. We were married a year later. Just sharing these few words about our life together brings me tears of joy. Now we cultivate it together and it is truly wonderful. Not perfect mind you—we went to counseling for a year back around 2012, and just a couple of years ago we decided to work through a “couples” workbook titled Reconnecting that helped us work through some lingering issues. But speaking for myself I couldn’t be happier with how my life is unfolding now, at 73. Namaste and blessings to all in the new year.
