Month 1: The Egg

Egg laid by our young hen, Climber, today March 1, 2026. It was her 3rd egg she's laid!

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like lockedrooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the

questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."

- Rainer Maria Rilke

This month begins my own 9 month course created by me. I am the only student in it for now, but perhaps this adventure is an opening into something greater. It's the beginning of a journey guided by intuition, creativity, and the unknown. I've decided to let go of most outside noise that I often tend to habitutate towards, like others' books or teachings and dive into my own internal wisdom. I'm going to create a deeply healing and transformative 9 month container for myself!

The big, painful question that has plagued me for years is, "what job or business can I create to support me, financially and heartfully?" I realize mentally that I don't need a career or business; that my life is incredible as it is. Yet it is a thought that continually returns in an unsettling way.

It is as if my ego is telling me you'll be fine once you discover your outward purpose and passion and have success with it. I truly don't believe that. Yet, I wonder if perhaps there is a business developing or eventually happening someday, and I want to find out what it.

Now that Jesse is 12 and Bryan is getting closer to retiring, I feel ready to work and help support the family, yet I'm unclear of which direction I want to go in. I really like the idea of the question being a closed door or a locked book in a different language.

Somehow, I am hoping this journey coincides with another theme I've been working on gently for a few years: my vision healing. This month starts my own journey into intuition, creativity and spiritual growth. I will live each day as an open canvas and trust how it all unfolds moment to moment. I will create my own monthly themes, monthly animal or plant partners and other practices.

The first month being an egg theme is perfect. Spring is arriving soon and there is always so much energy waiting to grow under the snow and ice. I held that chicken egg in my palm today and loved the smooth shell and how it fit in my palm perfectly. That egg was a tremendous gift today!
