as the wings lifted us off pdx and over the gorge, she - wy`east - was whispering to me that i will return, for she loves me. this mountain helped me so much, helped me recover my fearlessness and my courage to leap into my fear and learn to ride my path - both literally on skis and figuratively in my mind's realm.

this departure has been the most difficult ever. i weeped and weeped with no stopping.

now that i have been to the other places that shaped my life, i know that this, this lovely portal~land, is my hOMe. This is the place i discovered the path to the Self, where I trained my mind and my heart to be the galactic goofball that i am, and the very place my creative voice was heard.

i love everyone so much that i can only cry.

i cannot say how much I will miss this place and all of you.

i think those of you who are tuned in, know.

please hold space and sooner than later we will reunite.

the universe wishes me to accomplish another away-mission, so I will humbly oblige.

till the next time i land back here, please know that i carry all of it and all of you in my heart.

blessed be.

aho.
