Winter Solstice 2012

Posted on December 21, 2012 by marionpatterson

Clear. Crisp. Alpine glow just touching the tops of trees.  Still.  Snow clinging to trees, shrubs, wires.  The encrusted bell sounded a dull thunk, until I brushed off the snow, then a hollow gong.  Sort of how I felt initially.  … Continue reading →

Posted on February 26, 2012 by marionpatterson

What spectacular two days with Reiki colleagues.  And, how brilliant of Wahneta to suggest we walk the Laughing Labyrinth.  And, I like how she puts in a “long A” sound on labyrinth.  The first day was quintessential high pressure: snow … Continue reading →
