i wish i were more of a bounce-back person. instead i'm a slowly-meandering back person. i love little adventures and weekend get aways, but it always seems to take me a week or so to get back in my groove. i've been a lost lamb the last few days, back from live oak and missing a beat or two here and there.
this morning in the shower, the great revival hall that it is, i felt the groove resurface. the grin was back and the remembering of purpose and fun. thank god.
other little tidbits of goodness
a spunkyfunkylittlemonkey letter from the one and only sweet bean pea pod, raelene. mizz bean is like a jolt of summer day in the midst of a cloudy, cement-laden concrete jungle. raelene is the girl who will remind you that it is good to doodle during meetings. she's the giggle in the church choir.
music in the plaza starts tomorrow night. a thousand people will gather to drink wine, meet friends, and boogie down at the steps of the mission. i'm going to all of them, except the two i'll miss cuz i'll be at a nine-day meditation retreat. i'm not losing my summer this year. as shane says, "mar, you gotta fit your work into your life, not your life into your work." amen mr. green.
last night i took a fabulous detour home. this is my favorite detour that takes me almost to lopez lake, through the rolling hills and valleys of the edna valley. past wineries and farm houses. an hour or two before sunset and this drive will fill your heart. i must get a digital camera to show you all.
