circle.
i'm home from an unexpected good weekend. i spent the time just trusting my guts.. following myself from one thing that felt right to another thing that felt right.
friday night was a dash out of town and then an unexpected sleep over at lost valley. i went out to walk with a friend before heading up to fall creek, but as i got there and checked out the scene on the couch, i simply knew i wanted to stay. friends sitting together in a puppy pile laughing and talking. i slept with the stars on my back.
saturday was a day of play and laughing in my city. i got to see it through new eyes, and experience it in a way that i'd never done before. comfy, nice.. exhasuting, and finished with some excellent homemade pizza, bliss balls and a game of 'ipuyacat' shared with community members of lost valley.
sunday a quick dash up to clark creek -- finally -- and warm greetings all around. it was a crowd i don't necessarily know very well, so i was glad a couple of particular friends were there. it was nice to connect with them in new and different ways. it was nice to curl up and shared sleeping space with one of them closing a circle that was opened nearly 5 years ago, on the night i found out my grandmother had died. that night i spent playing with babies, and last night i spent with one of those babies, now 5, lying at my side. you never know which circles are going to close, you never know when the ends are going to meet again. you just simply don't.
