We had a beautiful day of standing in the smoke yesterday as Jo worked and smoked a sheep hide. It felt so good to be washed by smoke, tending to small handwork tasks and musing about community. We see all your faces in the fire, our community present and afar, ancestors, those on the fringes… we are all present here. Bound by the heat and glow of the fire, an alchemical flame of the Village.
I have to find a home for this piano 🙂 I would love it if maybe it were a long loan… say 1 year?
We did it!! Skiing the north island with 2 littles!!! This feels like a huge accomplishment even though me and Atlas only got in 2 sunny runs and ate lots of snacks!!! I got a few sweet solo runs thanks to my amazing partner Josef Saunders.
Happy Yuletide to you all! Atlas has been the greatest gift of 2020 and a true anchor for joy in our worlds. It is so easy to lose sight of what is important, but this little guy has highlighted what truly matters amid all the politics, fear and worry...community and togetherness. May you find time and space to connect in meaningful ways with your people and if you aren’t sure who your people are... may they find you! Merry Christmas all!
Thanks @jaimesharp_adventures for the encouragement to get this Mama back in her boat!! I am so lucky to have a supportive husband in @josjourneytheroamingnomad so I can get on the water and ride some waves for the first time in a year!!! It seems as though it’s just like riding a bicycle-except I’m on the water and in a kayak!!!
Today I got to spend the day with Jo and Atlas for their first Father’s Day together! We went down to the beach for fish and chips and had daddy dip Atlas’ feet in the ocean for the first time!!! This was his “paganing” - like christening but slightly different. The water was cold, but he’s like his dad...brave in the face of cold water! I love these two boys and feel so lucky to watch this man become the most amazing father!!! #soinlove
