Layers of life

Layers of clothing on these almost spring days that start out scrape-the-windshield and turn to shirtsleeve-lunch. Put them on, and take them off.

Layers of hair blowing down to the salon floor, revealing a head shape and a lightness of being that's been absent for a while. Take it off and leave it there.

Layers of grounding in a meditation session, building from a feeling of calm in one room and expanding to a sense of peace sent to the whole world. Start with one, and go to the next.

I realize as I write that everything is layers. From the recipe I'm following to the life I'm creating, it happens one step at a time, one level at a time. One cannot exist without the other. Leave out layers and things start to crumble.

Start with one layer and see where it goes. But to grow, either by reducing or by adding? You have to START.

Choose you. Unleash possible. START.

One foot in front of the other. Yes, you can.
