A whole year has gone by

A whole year has gone by since I was last here.
The arrival of grandson has changeeverything; I've gone into 'granny mode'.
I've been a granny now for just over two years with all it entails. 
I love the sleepovers and the picking up twice a week from nursery as well as the babysitting from time to time. 
Getting to know this little person is awesome !
It is such a gift and  great joy . 

This is my 'third act' . 
My focus now is:  " How can I serve , being who I am ? " 

" You know that 'rainy day ' that we always spoke about ?"  David asked. " Well, it's here and it's now ". He was referring to retirement and not putting things off.  A reunion after 40 years.  A soul friend remains a soul friend. 

Mum died  a year ago , 2011. My sisters and I are now orphans . It is a new era.
Our childhood home is still on sale; nothing much happening there.
All in good time, I suppose.

I've been to  Riga and Ergli meeting relatives and distant relatives and getting clearer about my relationship with them and my parent's birthplace. 

In June this year , I visited Damanhur and The Temples of Humankind. 
It was magic; all of it .
So much Beauty .
Living proof that mighty things start with a thought, a dream , a vision.
I am still wrapping this experience up in words; it is still a collage of images and feelings on my inner screen. Things loose their potency after the telling and this can add or detract.
