The mind, once stretched by a new experience, never returns to its original dimensions.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Your Year of the Body Remembering. Something in you has been quietly accumulating what words couldn't hold, and this is the year that stored knowing steps forward and earns its place at the table. A situation in early autumn asks for a response before you've had time to think, and the right answer is already leaving your mouth, drawn up from somewhere older than logic. The part of your life that finally looks like what you hoped for, the part you almost talked yourself out of wanting, turns out to be the part that fits you in exactly the right places. You recognize it the way you recognize a voice before you see the face. That recognition is the compass now. Let it point where it's pointed toward all along, and follow at the pace your whole self can keep.
