In reply to Michael McCausland. Congrats to your wife on her retirement! Yes, indeed - many folks think music teachers just there to sing with and give the classroom teacher a break. There is a lot more to it than that!

My wife and I were both music educators. She retired as of yesterday. On her last day, she was doing her Christmas Sing-a-long. Before starting we took some pictures out in front of her building. It was her last time. I know how invested most music teachers are and I know how much trouble I had with the transition. This MKE is a big help.

Amy, I love how you transformed a logistical challenge (no car, nowhere to go) into a gift of stillness. That’s the MKE spirit in action! Your metaphor is so clear and helpful: the wind is our restless mind, and the sun’s steady warmth is that connection to the Universal. It makes Chapter 12 feel tangible. Thank you for showing us that our sits and connection don’t require a perfect setting—just a willing heart and a sunny spot.

What a lovely moment of awareness Amy.
You found stillness right where you were, and in that quiet space you reconnected with what’s constant and grounding. Those simple pauses are powerful, they gently bring you back to center.

It is wonderful to be reminded of our connection to the universe.

That sounds so peaceful. And not at all like the weather where I live:) I’m glad you had some time to just be.
