We went to Lafayette, CA - one of the many towns named for the one who saved our arses in 1776 and for this shining achievement here we stand in our stranded fan bases wandering over and over the same pecking order cardinal red on top or bottom. integrity. courage. kindness. service. forgiveness.transparency and the hardest - joy.
it took me ages to even start letting go of thinking the cat had a fire hazard or something would happen. Then it became a walk around the hot landscape, and I didn't pack my hat.
edith slept with me again last night. thank god she's back in the habit and of course I will worry about her while I'm gone, and I know she has done it before and can do it again: survive and love on.
read travis McGee last night. the long lavender look and cried again at the end at the thought of someone there to pick up the pieces with you who had walked away before - how kind.
and it stoned me.
it was a warm sun-drenched California dream of a rain drenched day and landscape. hiking. The exercise was massive. she was with a real go getter like her sister. narcissi tried her best to keep keeping up and the convertible made it so hot. the one day she didn't bring the hat as it was too big to pack.
everything is allowed to come and go without further embellishment.
a beautiful brunch with coffee.
