I love these lines from William Stafford’s poem, The Way It Is.

We interrupt the elephant to bring you this special event!! If you’d like some time for reflection and rejuvenation with a small group, you are most welcome to join a virtual retreat, Reframing Resilience, Renewing Leadership. Reclaim joy and meaning with courage, exploring in a Circle of Trust® how to weave your life’s threads into life and work as 2021 unfolds.⁠

The story doesn’t end when blossoms are at their biggest and most glorious. There is wisdom in the waning of blossoms as well. Seasons, wilting blossoms, and the moon whisper of wholeness...

Ta da!!!! Blossom bloomed, like a fresh start to a new era of beauty, kindness, compassion, and grit to face the world as it is and see the world for how it can become.

I am feeling just like these amaryllis blossom-buds that unfolded overnight and yet still seem to be holding their breath with hope and excitement!

Feels like any minute now the amaryllis is going to burst into bloom -- looks like three blossoms burgeoning!! What’s about to blossom in your life?
