Beverley writes . . .

Look Ma!
a memoir

My mother cared about footwear. As a gift, it was her “thing.” Her taste was high-quality, and the pink and green rain boots that she gave me were top-notch. The boots aren’t particularly stylish (I do not care about that), but they make me feel good.

I like those boots because they provide support for rough cottage-country terrain. But there’s another reason. Here’s where I admit my fear of snakes––another gift from my mother. In 1962, when my father cleared the land, the upheaval sent snakes slithering past our ankles. My mother, helplessly petrified, would take to higher ground. Her fear was convincing. Her heart-stopping screams etched their way onto my psyche. I too became afraid…until I got my boots. Now, when a snake crosses my path, my visceral reaction is still to scream. But I remind myself that the snake is not likely to hurt me. My trusty boots have been instrumental in overcoming the fear. They may only be thin rubber, but, in my mind, they’re armour, and my toes, ankles, and calves are protected. (Plus, I like the metaphor: the support/motherly love/getting-over-fear thing.)

I wear these boots while gardening and tramping through the bush, and especially on hot days when snakes head to the lake for refreshment. I also wear a third gift that my mother gave me––burgundy, elbow-length canvas-and-suede gardening gloves. They don’t match the boots, but when I wear them together, I am fearless.

  • Change is inevitable in life, and the only way to truly understand it is to embrace it wholeheartedly. Alan Watts' wise words remind us that we must not resist change, but rather dive headfirst into it, move with it, and join the dance. Just like a river flowing, change is constant and we must learn to adapt and flow with it in order to truly make sense of it 🌊. By accepting change and allowing ourselves to be swept up in its rhythm, we can navigate through life's twists and turns with grace and ease.

So let's not be afraid of change, but instead let's welcome it with open arms and an open heart. Embrace the unknown, trust in the process, and remember that change is simply a part of the beautiful dance of life 💃🕺.

  • Lao Tzu's wisdom reminds us that it is important to constantly evaluate our current path and make adjustments if necessary. If we continue on the same trajectory without making any changes, we may find ourselves stuck in a situation that we never intended to be in. It is crucial to be mindful of our actions and decisions, as they ultimately determine where we will end up in the future. 🌟

This quote serves as a powerful reminder to take control of our own destiny and not simply drift through life without purpose. By being proactive and making intentional choices, we can ensure that we are headed in the right direction towards our goals and dreams. Let's embrace change and steer ourselves towards a brighter and more fulfilling future.
