weekend transeant

Back in Colorado...after a short stint in MN...
the air is fresh, it is a easy Sunday!

I hit the desert on Tuesday, for now I just sit in the light of a roof window.

Another phase begins,

kreature

only a few days to go

This afternoon I drew Ingus; beyond a new beginning, a time of completion to move on to the next step.

With only four days to return to MN, I help but take notice of where I am on this easy Sunday.

I'm calm...reflective and a little curious..about what the next several weeks will bring.

Living in a home with a lover during a Minnesota fall surrounded by friends and family.

It sounds too easy...too homey, but I bet it will feel sweet.

"Be centered and grounded, freeing yourself from unwanted influences."

couldn't figure out how to start again...

So I drew a rune...

Nauthiz;

constraint
necessity
pain

these three words do fit...my current mood.

i can not stop counting the days...

in moments i am in pain, which is an unfortunate necessity...

i can't wait to return to a minnesota fall, to be with him.

i have been turned upside down by my ankles...in love...all the pieces of my life have spilled onto the ground, now i choose which ones to put back in my pockets.

it's a great sunday morning...beautiful fall day in Colorado.

i feel loved

Sunday...

I've spent a few moments reflecting on the pace of my life these days.

It seems a bit routine these days, same people, same places, same drama.

I seem to float between both routine & disappearing into woods.

When I don't linger out of my home I feel very anti-social, yet when I take risks,
they seem to backfire.

I kinda bored of it all, right now.

Luckily, I will spend the next three weeks mostly in the woods,

So maybe I'll appreciate the routine when I return.

Eihwaz; nothing hectic, no acting needy or lusting after a desired outcome. Perseverance and foresight. Through inconvenience and discomfort, growth is promoted. This is a trying yet, meaningful time.


Hmmm,

Kreature

Processin'

I spent the last few days with my new crew at MTW...
they have a ton of new ideas and fresh eyes for the organization.
I have found that the type of people I get to work with are creative and caring.

Change is always difficult...but I see it as a good transition.
The woods embraced me, the work was difficult, I huffed and puffed up the peak, but it felt good.
I feel in love with my new light weight backpacking hammock..greatest sleep...totally beats sleeping on the ground.
I love how I feel after a trip...such a sense of accomplishment!

Speaking of accomplishment...I realize that our media is totally absorbed my MJs death...and who knows how long the frenzy will last. However...my first cassette was given to me by my father and it was MJ BAD. It does feel like I am losing a part of my childhood...even though my childhood was rocky...It is funny that I remember MJ as a part of my life in 2nd grade. How does a man in only 50 years...affect our world in the way he has. RIP Micheal.

I'm hanging in the front country until July 7th....I'll try to write more soon.

another sunday morning...

Morning!

I have spent the last few days with MTW co-workers. They are a cool bunch of people.
It was fun to reconnect with the ones of last summer, it was easy to chat with the ones I had worked with this spring, and the new faces have new experiences and ideas.

My social circles seem to have taken an odd turn.
The drama upon returning to the valley was a bit of a shock.
I'm trying to keep them from crossing, but this is a very small valley.


So I hope to hide out for a few days,
I leave on our staff wilderness trip on thursday.
I can't wait to get back in the woods.

Today I have an easy morning, an afternoon shift at Sbucks...
and tonight I can chill at home.

Fehu; Dispossessions ranging from trivial to severe. What do I need to learn from this? Recognize where my true nourishment lies.

Last day of May...

As much as I was dreading a long week off...it was an easy week.

I took my bike out a few times, visited with friends and met a few new locals.

The weather was iffy dictating my activities.

I have a few days of work, a couple errands to run and weekend plans in Boulder and Vail.

My Sunday morning routine always seems to start off the week right.

An easy start, a little prairie home companion, a few practical moments and the rest comes easy.

Sowelu; rune of wholeness; I can of mine own self do nothing...
