i've lived here over five years. and at last, i am starting to feel at home. i realized it as i looked at the nest i found while gathering greens last week. finally, the bits are coming together and within i am finding the whole.
there are other bits too...
...i'm holding gratitude for my parents. for their recent trek. for all of their help.
...i can not get enough of this song. and this one too. (okay, the whole album actually).
...i'm delighted to be spending another month over at habit.
...i'm thinking about winter wilderness adventure. for four years they beckoned on the horizon, but i never visited. soon this will change.
...i picked up the knitting needles again. for another pair of these. but bigger. perhaps another pair of these as well.
tomorrow i'll make this year's solstice wreath. the greens and such have filled the porch with their lovely piney smell. for almost a week, these bits have been waiting. waiting to be woven into a whole.
