Deeper waters

We heard late last night that our mortgage application has been approved... and so we can now begin the process of building our house at Applewood Lane.
This process is an amazing stepwise journey of trust: of funds set aside, of vision and dreams begun to be made real.
A few more stages are upon us: engineer approval of our house plan and a flood hazard certification certificate as well as a few others and then... the bull dozer will come and dig.


I took this photograph late in the evening a few days ago as the last of the light struck the ageing leaves across the pond.

Bright shining flower, Bright shining morning.
Morning Glory.

Full of gratitude and thanksgiving and a sense that our lives are about to unfold in a joyous burst of creativity and movement in this new life, as our ability to build our dream home has been set in motion with our mortgage.

Met with our fabulous architect and builder this morning to give him the go-ahead check and so...we...shall...

If all goes to schedule, he will have our plans back from the engineer with any suggestions by Friday, he will then draw up new plans, with suggestions incorporated, over the weekend. These will then go back to the engineer for approval and finally, go to the planning board of Dryden for their seal of approval. It may be a further week...but...it is all go. And it will be possible to get the foundations fully in before the first snows.

As this stunning gentle periwinkle blossom opens to the light, framed by the deep autumnal hues of the coleus, I revel in the beauty of the dance between the two...and as my first summer transitions to autumn...this is the experience of my spirit, opening wide to the new light.
