Some meaningful photos in a break in Amsterdam with my two teen girls.
1: my eldest has started snapping us at random moments. I love this strange pose she caught! I’m just brushing my hair while closing a window! But I look like some superhero-warrior-dancer!
2: highlight of a canal trip to see the lights festival was seeing my girls rest against each other. They aren’t often far from argument, so this was special. I squeezed in a few times, wanting that connection too 😌
3: this light sculpture was entitled “a thousand thoughts”. Look how beautiful! In yoga we try to still our thoughts, but how can we want these beauties to be silent?! Go ahead! Think! It’s a stunning part of being human!
4: yoga stick figures with enlightened heads!
5: a challenging but peace-inducing sentiment, one I believe helps us to move through perimenopause, menopause and into our elder years with grace: no clinging to what was. The light we made is nourishing those behind us, and we are always creating new light!
