I think that one of the things about becoming older is that the shadows get smaller. More of me is revealed to myself and others, rust and all.
Riding, yoga and writing practice all help me to bring things forward into the light, illuminating what is hidden in the shadows. Each time I ride I am seeking more and more sensitivity and refinement in what I feel from the horse and in my own body. It is the same with my movement practices and with writing.
Taking photographs is teaching me that sometimes practicing is just about waiting for the light. Or making peace with the shadows.
This week in The Journal I am writing about what happened when I went to have new headshots taken.
Where are you feeling the light today?
