What has been going on..

The last month. Oh, the last month.....I almost lost someone incredibly dear to me in an act of violence. My foundation was shaken and my way of navigating in the world is different, changed. I am beside myself with joy that my loved one is alive and moving through her days strong and brave.

Tonight we decided to camp outside. It was the most excited I have been about something in quite a few days. Sometimes, it is just like that something small to shift everything.

(that is my parents above--pretty excited about life on their last visit)

  5. i love the spirit in your leaping joyful parents; misty is right, she is beautiful, so much of her beauty is reflected in you. and your lovely yard and studio - i can see why you were blinded by anything but that, charming. i can't wait to come and visit you there - next month?!! sending you loveliness in each breath in and exhale out - life is good!
