Joyous Yule, Happy Winter, Sweet Tidings to all. On this Yuletide walk through the Chiracahuas, my mom asked Mana what motivated him. His response was very sweet, and I spent the next couple miles reflecting on what it is that motivates me.
My answer? Finding, creating, facilitating and sharing moments of wonder.
Wonder…it evokes reverence for the natural world, curiosity, awe, respect, appreciation, an experience of magic. Wonder brings us closer to the sacred. We were so blessed to spend a few days together in family on these ancestral Apache lands, laughing, telling stories by the fire, line dancing in the rain, and sharing moments of true wonder at the beauty all around us.
