The past month has been all about moving out of our home. As you can see from the photos all traces of our life have been removed. Such a long process deciding what to keep, what to toss, what to sell and what to give away. But as I took that final walkthrough, I could almost feel the house aching from the change. After all, it was built to contain our belongings, to protect our family, and to be a shelter for our stories. As we move on our house is waiting for its second inhabitants....and it will be comforted by living into its purpose - to be a home.....As for us? We too look forward to stepping over the next threshold....May we remain open to the possibilities before us....
"We look with uncertainty
Beyond the old choices for
Clear-cut answers
To a softer, more permeable aliveness
Which is every moment
At the brink of death;
For something new is being born in us
If we but let it.
We stand at a new doorway,
Awaiting that which comes...
Daring to be human creatures,
Vulnerable to the beauty of existence.
Learning to love."
- Anne Hillman
And so you shall... XOXO
