I remember the first time I realized I was treating sadness like a mistake. I had returned from dancing in cities where everything is bright and fast, where the roads are full of headlights and the days are measured by appointments. After weeks of dancing across Canada, I came back to my cabin, and the quiet felt like an accusation. My body missed the crowd, the smiles, the quick conversations after a performance.

Describing variations of feeling, actions, and mood as being essential to one's life is as meaningful as understanding the elements of vinegar, salt, and sugar to home cooking.
I love thé image of you dancing with your boots on in the cabin to keep the energy and warmth going! That is a beautiful image of making our way through daily life. Thank you for your writing and all the encouragement you send out to the world, regularly.
Laughing at the body because it insists on being real. Oh! That line is going to change my own discussions with my body. Thank you for your insight.
Well stated.

Thank you Gurdeep. I really needed to read this today. I'd forgotten about Rumi's guest house but that too resonates 🙏
I love my downtime! Thank you Gurdeep as always for these wise words ☺️
Reminds me of Rumi's Guest House - a favourite for many reasons!! Thank you for your thoughtful words!
We need the downs to appreciate the ups. The wisdom, as you have pointed out, is to be aware and accepting of them. "This too shall pass."
The Rumi reference in the first comment points this out. The Guest House welcomes all visitors as equal, respected and important.
❤️🇨🇦
We are a guest house, one with many rooms, some for strangers, some for the familiar.
All are welcome, see you soon.
Echoing with a Rumi inspired theme, thanks for more Arctic incites, where stillness oozes healing 🙏🏻
