alone

there is something powerful in an empty office.  i get more done (current definition of "productivity" notwithstanding), i don't have to listen to other voices or music, and i have room to be.  i can breathe better.  i'm not cautions about who might be behind me.  i can be.

and so now i start this blog.  living in ruach.

ruach: a feminine noun in hebrew meaning "breath, wind, spirit"
     (god's ruach is the source of all life)

i have life in me that has been jumping around in my belly all afternoon.  i have life in my mind and heart that has been struggling greatly to be free especially lately.  i have life in my home with my amazing partner and too many pets.  i have life in me to my very toes.  and when i am alone as in now i can think more clearly about how to get it out - how to live in this ruach.
