living in eventful times

I am at Spirit Dance, a communal farm in the Cariboo...gazing out at the fir-forested hills, across the meadow where the llamas graze. I pick strawberries and mulch and weed in the dry hot sun. A thunderstorm has just passed, leaving waft of eucalyptus and rain.

Tomorrow is my birthday a... read more

The place is right on the river, and there is a short hiking trail to a small beach. ROMINA and CORI and GARTH will be spinning great tunes! How good is that?! You can bring something to drink or suchlike and snacks, but there will also be some th... read more

With sudden and absolute certainty I realized, that I need to rest.

As soon as I got home from yoga I called Ben, the other half of my dream job-share at the Wilderness Committee (the first real "job" I've had in 15 years, and the only job I've ever truly wanted), and told him that I'm taking a six-month hiatus -- after being there for only two months! Effective more or less immediately. I love this job and I want to do it well, but I am not real... read more
