Spring & Rebirth

Like all of us , I struggle with what to do next.

I was stricken by a moment in [ Frozen 2]Of all things... Anna was lost and alone in the cave, overwhelmed with grief having just lost everything.Unable to muster the strength to take the next breath ….[sound familiar?]

“ I've seen dark before, but not like this

This is cold, this is empty, this is numb

 

The life I knew is over, the lights are out

Hello, darkness, I'm ready to succumb “

this movie… it was the day after Thanksgiving, my family and I just put up the Christmas Tree , caught a sunset hayride, and polished off the day with a surprise trip to the movies.

The sweetness of that moment seems like worlds away. 

As I sit in my studio surrounded by beautiful gems bits of fabric, paint, herbs and essential oils… it is so tempting to give in to the exhaustion.

 “Can there be a day beyond this night?” - Anna asks

What’s the point in making anything?

Even in writing this, the words fall flat. What could I possibly have to say that would inspire anyone?

~And then  I remember the chorus from that haunting moment in Frozen… 

“ The Next Right Thing “

“I won't look too far ahead

It's too much for me to take

But break it down to this next breath,

this next step
This next choice is one that I can make
So I'll walk through this night

Stumbling blindly toward the light

And do the next right thing”

-From Duchess w love.
