Did you get a chance to step outside yesterday? It felt so good to open the doors and let in that warm air. It was such a nice little preview of spring.
Things are slowly waking up on the farm. Most of the snow has melted, and I’m starting to see daffodils, tulips, peonies, and even the rhubarb poking through the earth. The birds are back, too; I love waking up to the sounds of birds outside of my window.
This week, I wrote this week about tapping our maple trees. It’s a new tradition to us; this is our third year, but it’s a tradition deeply rooted in Canadian history. And this feels significant to me this year.
For the past two weeks, We’ve been collecting sap every day, and this weekend, we’ll do our first boil with friends and family. There’s something really grounding in that—following the rhythm of nature, knowing each season has its own unique tasks, and just showing up for a simple, steady process.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about how groundedness isn’t something we have to create—it’s something we return to.
Even in the middle of uncertainty, there are always anchors we can hold onto. For me, my anchors are the cycles of nature, creative expression, my family and friends, and, of course, my practice.
What about you? What helps you feel steady when things feel a little chaotic?
This morning, I thought we’d take some time in our meditation to explore that—to find our ground, even when the world feels a little shaky.
Let’s get started.
