and now we go

i woke up at 5 am this morning to practice yoga. the sky just above the horizon was a thick bright pink stripe. the sun came blazing up out of the pink around 6 and everything came to life.
i will miss the wyoming morning. the romance of it.

i hope i can take this feeling with me, this feeling of deeply appreciating each moment of my experience.

courtney and i are leaving clear creek farms this afternoon, after working from 6:30 until 11:00 on preparing CSA shares.

carol and bob leresche took us into their home(s) and taught us a great deal about how to live in the world. they are joyful, humble, whip-smart people and i will miss them terribly. i had trouble holding it together when we said goodbye.
i am amazed at their endless capacity for humor and kindness. they both work so hard and with such passion, and after seeing what they have built together and the strides they make every day, i am wholly inspired to live in such a fashion.

and we will miss mona and steve: mona's big sweet smile and steve's quiet, thoughtful presence.

but we are on to new landscapes and new adventures and excited to see more people we love.
yellowstone to seattle to portland.

as carol would say, you lucky, lucky girls.
