kristin's life is this beautiful integration of body, mind & soul.
she practices the art of letting things like her gardening inform things like her writing.
in shine** sessions, i let the essence of a person's life really inform and guide the time, and i think what struck me most was that kristin is a person who includes. she's a writer and a spiritual director and a gardening queen, and in showing me her writing space, she didn't just write, she read me a chapter of her book. when we went back to the garden, she didn't just harvest vegetables and then move on to the next thing, she made us a warm beet salad, fresh from the ground, that we shared together. that's kristin.
kristin includes, and creates, and inspires, and lets the elements of her life blend together into this beautiful whole------- if one thing was taken away, the other things wouldn't be quite the same. it makes me think of a quote by an artist i love,, eva hesse. "my art and my life are not separate, they're together."
(ps., kristin wrote this beautiful book about self care, that i love & highly recommend.)
