finished unloading all the stuff i took.  Not much.  And  re evaluated what should be permanently in a tub in the truck bed.

We will be good to go.  

It's like beginning again.   There's a shift in the day today…the air is lighter,  no more the honey thick air of summer…today, the first day,  it's lighter.   As i sat waiting for Julian to get home from school,  i watched the flow of the creek…going going going,  always a creek but the water constantly different and flowing,  so same but not same at all…????

so today i feel that i will be able to do my best and my best will be good enough.    I type this sentence and pause to look at it.

yes.   so ok.  Now we go again.  And i am grateful.

    Knowing you are prepared is a good feeling, I love that Wendy MacDonald the owner of Ariel P Cat’s sire Nile Oberon puts her copy of An illuminated Book of Cats in the box of essential things to take whenever they have to evacuate during fire season in the Hunter Valley.

    “Quiet acceptance and readiness to flow onward”…this captures how I’m trying to feel as I recuperate from breast cancer surgery. Thank you, Dana.

    I love your rocks, Grace. They may be denser than plants & trees, but they have just as much to say.
    Heartfelt prayers for you, Irene. I’ve been down that BC road three times, and if you ever want a stranger to just listen to you, please feel free to email me.
