7/13/12 - RAIN!
Thunderstorms and rain poured down early Friday morning. POURED. The desert let out a deep sigh. Here is a shot from the car as we drove up to wrightwood:
7/14/12 - LOVE!
A beautiful celebration of love. My right-brained activities included dancing, drawing a picture for the wedding couple and getting creative with costumes.
A note on costumes: what a beautiful thing to see all the costumes you've acquired over the years being circulated around to grandparents and grandchildren, lovers and friends, parents and children. Costumes allow people to let down their guard and let loose a bit more. This was a beautiful, subtle way for Ethan and I to contribute to Laura & Isak's wedding.
7/15/12 - DESERT DUNKING!
Yes, its true. there is water in the desert in July. And it is delightful to hear water dripping and flowing through curved granite. What a treat! What a precious gift. What a sacred presence in the hot desert in July. As the sky erupted into a gorgeous display of colors at sunset, the frogs began their coordinated song. As if there were a hidden composer, they contributed different tones and frequencies in a symphony of exaltation for the divine desert waters. What blessed beings we are to have the opportunity to witness this display.
And yes, we did dunk in a hidden pool at the base of a trickling waterfall, hidden behind walls of shapely, smooth granite. DIVINE.
7/16/12 - TRANSITION!
Saying goodbye to the desert for 2 weeks. Packing up belongings and cleaning up shop. Goodbye to the casa for a bit. Feeling a bit ungrounded in this transition. Trying to think of everything I need to bring and those things I can do without. Embracing the opportunity I have to travel and visit friends. Hoping that I will be able to take care of my work responsibilities as well. Au revoir desert!
