I went on my normal neighborhood hike and was greeted by this reminder that seasons are soon to change.

The scrub oak is starting to change colors!
Things change in the blink of an eye. If you aren’t paying attention, you miss out. I think that’s what I’ve learned most as I’ve gotten older. Details are important. They aren’t minutia. There are many details these days that are giving me hints of what is to come. We’re anticipating great change and are preparing as best we can.

Nature's preparation for regeneration.
Anticipation guides our preparation for the future.
























wow, simultaneously achieving Motherhood and becoming a Zen Buddhist…
Hi, Jeni. I have not looked at your blog for quite a while now. It looks like there have been some changes since then. Is Motherhood one of them?
Ha-ha, Scott, yes, a nice combination, no? Bill, yes, we’re expecting!
Great News Jeni. Congrats to you and Matt.
