Coming Home

I have decided to celebrate my first 6 months in Alamosa by taking a vacation and coming home for a week. I will be flying in (weather permitting) 02/18 and flying out 02/25. Hoping to catch up with some of you out there during that time. I am looking forward to seeing Manhattan Transfer at the Dakota also. I have been listening to them since the early 70's so it's kind of exciting for me, though I have seen them already many years ago.

I do believe that I have actually let go of worrying about my future. I heard a quote from David Milch yesterday, though I can't quite remember it. The gist of it was that humility is a key attribute in being able to see all the roads available to us. It causes us to lose our expectations of the road, and therefore allows the roads to expand in ways we can't conceive of. That is not the best summary of what he said, but it captures the essence. I like the thought. Believing we can determine our path, thinking we can actually control the magnificence of creation around us, limits what we can do. But by being humble, and recognizing the magnificence, we can actually become more than our selves limited by mind.

Hope to see many of you in February. Love you all.
