Caught on an electric wire I wait on the wind. I am once again alive and happy to be here. I was slipping my grip on priority a few weeks ago but I’m back. A renewed force of power waits while I settle into a new groove. And settle, I will. Just you wait.
There is a new resolve to run my life the way I want, a new resolve to be who I want to be. I am not stupid, I’ve been face to face with this resolve before. My life is a giant circle – losing confidence, gaining ground. Faltering and finishing. Falling down and getting back up. This isn’t the first time I’ve found courage, found strength, found something to be. I’ll take advantage of it while it’s here.
Knitting II was cancelled but that just gives me time to enroll in knitting school – yes school. Courses, textbooks, prerequisites, labs, tests, homework, final exams. The works. I finished knitting I with a green scarf but now I’m ready to jump into the unknown. As a good friend told me, it’s all well and good to reaffirm what I already know (as in the case of knitting I), but it’s another to move into unchartered waters. So, here I go.
Yoga. I haven’t been to Now and Zen Yoga since it moved. I’m embarrassed by that fact. Now that I have this director thing worked out I have time for the more important things.
Kisa taught me some moves on the bowflex. I’ve missed strength training. Okay, I avoided it after a certain meathead left my life, but, but, but I still missed it. I like watching my muscles move, feeling strong and in charge. Peach Shirt still lingers in my memory. He follows me from the grocery store and back from the back. I’d like to be able to kick his azz if it ever came to that. Instead I’ll ignore the ache. In addition I discovered the bike path goes all the way into town – almost 3 miles. Perfect for running. I’ll start tomorrow.
I moved back into the Space, calling up some friends. If I haven’t called on you, give me time. I’m still figuring out where you are! 😉

You have a wonderful blog here! I really like it! Enjoy the rest of your weekend! 😉
I am so happy to see you again! Also my dear friend your voice echos mine here. Once again. Well, not the knitting lol but the other. I can relate and I say to us, “Right on…here we come!”
I think there is something cosmic that is causing many of us to reclaim that which is ours. To be strong and believe we deserve.
Harmonia, welcome & thank you.
Pam~ Every now & then I need to drown in order to feel how wonderful resurfacing can be. I think you are the same way. Reclaiming can be so powerful! Congrats to you! 😉
Love the photo lead in/metaphor as well as the spirit of reclamation. It’s good to see you here, too, Harmonia!
That is a real branch hanging on a real live wire outside my house…it’s been there for months!! 😀
You’ll knit something complex and cool in time.
You’ll come to yoga class when you can.
And you’ll get stronger when you’re ready to try.
You can do it all … and you will … I’ve always known that. Glad you figured it out too 🙂
Here’s what I want – a big, cozy sweater in something rich like copper colored silk. I want class time to supplement my private yoga sessions. I want to meet challenges head on. In time I’ll get there!
