East Grandmother

A lively old women is coming our way. She seems to dance across the field. Spring is in full bloom with a profusion of colors. The fragrance is wonderful. It is mid morning and a gentle breeze gives us a sense of being alive and ready to engage in the day.

This grandmother is the sort of woman who is unafraid to travel about seeing the world and meeting new people. Today she sees a world of life and beauty in this meadow. She is playful and always seems to totally enjoy herself no matter what she is doing.

But don't assume the playfulness indicates a lack of depth. Remember that she has been around the wheel many times before. East Grandmother brings us fresh new perspectives and helps us with letting go of the shoulds that limit our creativity. She reminds us to be flexible and to pay attention to the miracle of beginnings.
