Begin again the story of your life. — Jane Hirshfield
Wherein the cub and I took a road trip to see Dakhabrakha. The last time we saw them was in 2017. They were phenomenal — as always! We enjoyed the charming town of Lexington, hiked to see Natural Bridge, and adventured over to Falling Springs ( a falls declared by Thomas Jefferson to be the only remarkable falls in the county — he was right ). On the way back we stopped to photograph an abandoned "santitarium" and I couldn't help think of what a waste to let it decay when it could be used for housing the unhoused in someway. We made it home in time to get ready the opening reception of "Reclaimed". The cub said, "I'm proud of you for showing your work again —I told all my friends". This meant the world to me. Dr. R came with her two daughters, as well as coworkers and friends which touched my heart greatly. The following day I joined a vernal pool expedition at SRSP. Serenading by Spring Peepers, I saw signs of Spring — salamander eggs and spermatophores! A dear friend and her family were stuck in Qatar, and gratefully extricated after a horrifying 11 days. There was a crazy storm with a tornado watch which produced a lovely rainbow. Had lunch with friends. I watched sunsets and sunrises and began working on ideas for the next exhibit in June. I cherished a phone call from a dear friend and laughed at her daughter interjecting in the background, "Go get 'em, Wendy!" I listened to this Tibetan Monk talk about peace and walked with him and a group of peaceful folk. Began planning some strategic joy and magical sidequests with the dear one next month.
