Pure Energy

Not long ago, I wrote a post about stillness, perhaps because physically it's a rare commodity around here. In the midst of this almost-toddler's energy, L. and I are whirling and twirling, dancing and singing, climbing and crawling just to keep up with her. She, whose name means new life, is bringing so much life, so much vitality to us. Amazingly, the stillness for me at the center of this energy is the sense of peace and gratitude I feel with this little family, both precious and wonderful, of mine. So today I'm commenting on the lovely balance between stillness and activity and the energy they both bring: vibrant serenity / serene vibrancy. Perhaps this sounds paradoxical, but how very right it feels.
