{"title":"ReUnion","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs we begin to gently re-introduce ourselves to our nearest and dearest after months of staying in at home, we hope to never lose touch with what the quarantine has re-introduced us to: a quiet and loving inward journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile our Mindful Muse slowly adapts to the new normal and joyfully re-unites with her circle, she maintains time for listening and loving herself. To her, the understanding is clear: that\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ea deep ReUnion has begun, one that links her to her inner child and to her higher self\u003c\/strong\u003e. She is grateful for the social reunions that are a beautiful way to reconnect with others, and she has a keen knowing that at the heart of reunion is ReUnion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe see ReUnion as an inner homecoming, one that is the undercurrent of any sincere relational reunion.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReUnion is a heeding of our inherited intuition, a welcoming of our earnest hearts' desires (in the yogic tradition,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esankalpa\u003c\/em\u003e), a vowing to be true to our Selves\u003c\/strong\u003e. And we say these things in the present tense, knowing that ReUnion is a constant choice, moment to moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe pieces in this collection are classic but modern, pared-down but substantially elegant. We allowed ourselves to be inspired by what is seen design-wise to be \"vintage\" and by what is typically considered youthful. Our sincere hope is that these pieces both inspire our Mindful Muse to continue on the inward journey of ReUnion with Self, and celebrate her progress on this path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne big source of inspiration for this collection is this poem by Derek Walcott:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLOVE AFTER LOVE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe time will come\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ewhen, with elation,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eyou will greet yourself arriving\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eat your own door, in your own mirror,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eand each will smile at the other’s welcome,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eand say, sit here.
