a garden of belonging...
"the beautiful irony is that even though we’re housed in separate bodies there is a profound hidden tissue of absolute connection between us. the celtic tradition sensed that no one lives for herself alone. your call to discover who you are and to bring your soul into birth is also a great act of creativity toward everyone else." ~john o'donohue
may all travelers find joy!!

...the garden of belonging is also the garden of freedom. Strange. Ironical. But true. As we discover connections, we become free, perhaps because connections offer us new visions, offer us different perspectives in seeing the world.

dear meral, when irony is present, we know we are close to the heart of this life... i love the words you bring to this garden. an image comes to mind of the amazing feats of acrobats on the flying trapeze. it is the trust in connection that allows them to fly... that allows us to fly!! thank you.
love to you!!
