Monday Musings ~ Swells

Last Sunday night I sat on the porch with a couple of friends, chatted all kinds of topics, tried mango sticky rice for the first time which is delicious, watched the sun go down, stayed up late for cake and soaked in a good evening in the neighborhood. It feels like a swell to Summer building up: lighter evenings, schedules clearing, life slowing down a little. And, I love the speed of Summer. Somewhere in the year the planner starts to take over managing all the to-do and to-be and the “busy” gets the best of me, which in itself starts to exhaust me.  Every year Spring seems to be when my calendar is the fullest and nights like these remind me to slow down and soak it in.

At the same time of slowing down I feel like a different swell is building, to something bigger but unknown, and opportunity and change. Maybe it’s been building, but I’m finally slowing down enough to see it. Or maybe it’s just starting to build. Either way, every conversation I have seems to have a thread of intention and what seems like it “comes out of nowhere” but maybe it’s just because I’m listening that the dots on a few things have connected.

I’m not trying to be vague, but it is vague where this swell could go…will it open doors? shut doors? change me? change other things? align with dreams? cross a specific path?
