🤍 I dreamed of this life.
A life full.
Brimming with activity.
With harmony.
With peace.
With joy.
And here it is.
The rains have arrived on the lands we live upon, softening everything. The bees are out, busy and golden, gathering pollen from the lotus and cactus night flowers that have bloomed. The birds are constant companions — our bird bath always filled, the trees alive with movement and song.
Our little block hums with life.
We have a nine-week-old puppy exploring the world with wide-eyed curiosity. We have our mokopuna here, staying with us, her laughter and toddler wonder filling every corner. And her mama — carrying life again — due next month. New birthing. New beginnings. New cycles unfolding right before our eyes.
Our whānau is growing. Life is growing.
There is youthful energy everywhere — curiosity, playfulness, discovery. And yet, strangely, it doesn’t feel busy. It feels nourishing. It feels full in the most gentle, steady way.
Sometimes I catch myself thinking I should be doing more — more yard work, more housework, more “tasks.”
And then I stop.
And I realise… I am in it.
I am life, being in life.
Witnessing it.
Participating in it.
Breathing with it.
This is the dream.
Not a faraway one — but this very real, muddy-footed, rain-kissed, bird-singing, puppy-tumbling, baby-growing life.
It is authentic. It is full.
And I am so deeply grateful to be here, in these cycles, in this season, in this beautiful becoming.
The dream is not someday.
The dream is now. 🌧️🐝🌿✨
