Ever been "OUT" in the wild places and felt eyes on your back? Ever stood in a clearing with a view, wind in your face, hawk in the sky.... waiting to hear a pin drop?
No???? Then Ian & I have the perfect spot for you... an insanely high mountain pass in the southern sierras recently stripped of all its' green glory by fire... we were reminded of our time there by a show we saw late last night about "Sasquatch" (called Skookum by the Native Americans).... too much to go into here... but you know what got me really excited? The unknown. I LOVE that there is so much that we don't understand... lifetimes of learning and discovery at our feet....
I am trying this morning to apply that feeling to my life and grin at the blank slate that is in front of me.....
so grateful for the blessing of family and love to accompany me on the trip...
I wanted so badly this weekend in Arrowhead to be able to turn onto Sequoia, park on the little access road , and go HOME... hold the girls in my arms, watch Bemy in the kitchen, joke with Alex, sit by Dad (with his feet up) on the orange couch....
Never able to revisit that place in TIME, but acutely aware that it is always alive in the concrete bonds of love that we share with eachother....
I love you all!

OH, makes me want to be there Andrea. That picture is soo cool. Sounds like you are feeling better today. That is such a good attitude, I will try and take that with me today too. Yay for blogging.
Your post today brought tears to my eyes. Looks like a perfect spot for you and Ian:) You need to write a book.
I agree with Cara, you do need to write a book. Your writing is amazing! What you said stayed with me all day! It made me happy.
Love you Andrea
