I'm back early from the cabin, due to an out of control fire twenty miles away. The soot, ash and smoke were too much for us, and we left yesterday afternoon. It was so beautiful up there too. Eighty in the day, cooler at night, perfect for swimming and with a full moon (blue moon). I spent a lot of time meditating, walking the dogs, and speaking to friends on the phone. I do feel more centered and focused. Our younger son saw our older daughter and granddaughter and grandsons the first three days of this week, and it was so comforting to know he was there. He sent two photos of our granddaughter playing with the marble roller coaster I'd sent up.
I found comforting messages on my email this morning, and a delightful video of my daughter teaching up there as a writer in the schools. It was thrilling to see her, so beautiful, articulate and wise. I hope she is able to do the program again, maybe after her treatment this fall. I am so proud of her.
The fire means our younger son probably won't get to stay up at the cabin next week, unless there is a miracle of containment that so far looks far fetched. But there are thousands of fire fighters, National Guard, etc battling it out. I pray none of them is harmed.
