so they're gone till probably Sunday.  Hopefully be back to visit the Mustang Camp Sunday afternoon.  beyond that,  who knows.  

this though is just a surprise but now not a surprise at all.  Spirit's on the Move it seems and who can know?  

But they, all three, are such Very Very Fine people.  I would wholeheartedly put the well being of the Planet in their hands.   

it's been a long long time since i have been around people in their 20's that i don't know.  they are sure of themselves,  intent,  educated in so many ways,  sensitive and aware.  and

so so Ready.  yes.  they are very Ready.   i don't use the expression much,  but i feel truly Blessed by this experience.   Faith.  Faith in the Unknown.  Faith in the natural and spontaneous Occurring.

Lucky.

    Be sure that when they leave, they take their trucks with them!! They’ve already left their parents with an assortment, they promise to clean up their toys before they go to bed but it hasn’t happened yet….

    tell you what, if they left Rory’s Dodge, i would be
    ecstatic.
    and it Pays Off…all that toy cleaning nagging…you can
    tell their parents…
    i could not have imagined one iota more. i can not think
    of a SINGLE THING i would add to them…they are just
    beyond FINE. They are quiet, gentle, earnest, thoughtful,
    open, curious, responsive, GENUINE, EXCELLENT people. All
    three. if i could have dreamed them up, i couldn’t have
    dreamed better. Really. just so Really. They are such a
    GIFT.

    they’re supposed to. they are Supposed To Set Out.
    their parents/you readied them. and out they flew.
    i hope i can give Owen a little branch to land on for
    awhile. He is
    young,
    isn’t he.
    and phones…they are very Invasive. but i couldn’t resist.

    Must be spirit on the move big time…what a great energy your visitors have brought….how wonderfully you describe them. It all feels so wide open-hearted, just makes me smile a lot. I might even feel a tiny bit of envy…(ha)

    you only need one extra rim, so…????? maybe something
    to do with living in the mountains???? in a tent????

    arise

    This makes me feel part of all time–stretching forwards and backwards. I first thought ah to be twenty something again. But then again no. We are going to need young warriors who are ready.

    yes…good words for it.
    oh, no. not twenty again for me. it was good. now
    is better.
    but to watch them…yes. anything that can support this.
    and warriors, yes.
    i am still in the “replay” mode of it all and in my head
    i watch Rory and Zarina together…so good. so equal.
    two moving parts of a whole. i like it a lot…..
    watching them. She is a very very fine young Woman.
    They can take things forward.

    who spiced them up with his boy jiz
    and that was the end of them.
    i would L O V E to have some again.

    I too have been away, but respond to this post and this post alone — your descriptions of these young people and the young people themselves give me hope.

    i was not expecting anything, really. and Who appeared
    was just Surprising. Now it’s a day away and they’ll be back. so, more then.
    and Yes. Hope. they are Strong and Determined. So much
    more than i ever could have imagined. they carry the
    beliefs in Simple. in Plain. i hope they are strong enough.
