In my daydream practice, I just keep coming back here for moments of remembrance and grounding. The manatee, the kingfishers, the gators, the gar, the Cooper’s hawks— all the creatures great and small, calling this section of the St John’s River home

Cracks in the bedrock allow spring water to rise through the aquifer to birth this place. Over one million gallons flow through here each day and give refuge to these animals. This is where the manatees come to play each winter. It’s a place that is special to me and being able to canoe the river this year felt like a spirit journey in itself

I’m distilling some of the ideas that come through during this floating practice. I’ve been meditating on the truth behind them. Like “cracks in the foundation spring forth new life”

I’m struggling to make a major shift with our business and my time. Like all of us, I’m working non-stop and exhausted and getting burned out. But more importantly, I would like to move into offering my healing work to the collective and there are a lot of things in my way. The mud is very sticky right now

I’ve been thinking that these breaking points are actually the moments that inspire a new path forward. When we’re pressed against a wall and trying to figure out the next step— sometimes it’s just trusting that any step is the right one, even if it’s a misstep

So sharing this little moment of peace on the St John’s is a bit of that for me, right now. I hope that in the midst of whatever you’re struggling with you can remember: we’re all there

Sometimes the cracks in the foundation is the exact thing to spring forth new possibilities. Maybe embrace the break down and get ready for what comes next
