To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee.
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few. ~ Emily Dickinson
Each small step bringing life, how does your prairie take shape?

Chaordic
Recently I was introduced to the word chaordic which is “used to describe recognizable and predictable patterns within systems of chaos”. In the days of unpredictability, change and chaos we need to learn to look for the hidden patterns that are signs of God’s continuing presence to anchor and guide us.
How do you discover the order hidden underneath the chaos?
Slowing
Watching the destructive forces of one storm after another leaving devastation in their wake makes me wonder what we in our rushing leave behind. Is life-giving unfolding and emerging found in slowing? Birth, rebuilding, growing all take time.
What in your life needs slowing?
Leaves fall
“New beginnings start in darkness, in the process of letting go, and stepping down, just as we see in nature, as the trees lose their leaves, and seeds fall to be buried in the Earth.” ~ Abbey of the Arts
What new beginnings might your letting go invite?
