sighting on March 2. A
memory to look forward to
their evening.
I relish this feeling.
I have "come home."
And in doing so, I must
be sensitive to what I am
closing the door on, and
the people behind that door.
I already almost feel like
these 12/13 years of the
organization were an
intense dream... an endurance
dream, full of characters-
some beautiful some difficult,
some will be with me forever,
but I am returning to
myself. From the Odyssey,
cleaning the studio - riddly - Rights
