Spring into the unknown!!!

"Throw your dream into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country." --Anais Nin


This quote was gifted to me, and as I re-read it on the eve of spring equinox, I am reminded about the dreams of spring. As Winter is a time of reflection, Spring is a time for planting new intentions and patterns for which to grow from. I'd like to pose the question: if you had a packet of seeds and they were unlabeled, could you plant them and tend them with the commitment of that who's seeds you know the identity of? Not only could you, but would you?
     These are the questions that I ask myself as I begin to plant a new crop this season. For me right now, these questions are related to meditation. I have had a meditation practice for several years, however its been irregular and not something I had much intention around. After attending a Yoga Teacher Training with Sarah Powers in late February, I have been meditating 24 minutes a day.... she had me vow to do so. For three months. 
     I have decided to plant meditation as a practice and have no idea about the outcome. I am tossing this practice into space like a kite and just trusting that someday this little seedling will bear fruit that will serve me. It is hard work, tending this seed. My son turns one year old next month and I long to give him my attention. Sometimes my practice is interrupted, but I continue on just doing my best with the unexpected. So far I feel more focused and patient. I am able to come into my witness consciousness more quickly and hold that awareness in other interactions as well. It has been a delightful journey, and one I hope continues for many, many more seasons.
     What are you planting this Spring?
