Juin

Juin (Fr.)/ June (Eng.) noun: The sixth month of the year, in the northern hemisphere usually considered the first month of summer.


Smack dab in the middle of the year I find myself traveling more, with more social  and business engagements than all of last year. In addition, I have been house hunting in a medieval village in Bourgogne, France. And in July I will be going to The Netherlands for the first time and then Munich. Amidst all of this movement there has been a whole lot of reflection. Yet it is not the type of reflection that I am used to. You see, in the past I have induced my own reflective periods and conversed and pondered them intentionally. But now it seems to be happening under the surface, without any prompting from me. I am not even sure what it is all about.

"We cannot see our reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see."
- Taoist proverb

So does that mean I won't find out until August when things become still again?
