10 hours in Seattle.


a day trip south of the border with my dearests S & D.
highlights include:
  • visiting the public library- especially the red floor & the low doors in the bathroom stalls
  • experiencing total vertigo on the top floor of the library
  • wine and snacks @ le pichet
  • admiring the brick buildings
  • getting overwhelmed in outlet malls
  • just walkin' around the city & soaking it all up.

soft landing.

arrived in nelson via car on march 4th with papa at wheel. smooth ride, sunshine spilling, sky bright, air fresh. landed softly on the doorstep of my dear surrogate family. having this time to settle in before they return from a trip to california. for the best- as this way i can get all my stuff tucked away before being discovered that i truly am moving in for 2 months! tomorrow morning is day 1 at the hospital. feelings of anticipation, nervousness, excitement, & fatigue, all come and go. but i’ll go with the flow, find a rhythm, and most importantly try to soak it up and take it in. these times of change are filled with learning, and questions and hopes and fears. that’s the way it’s supposed to be… feeling it. breathing it. being it.

december rolls in.

the weeks are sliding by without a word on here. term is wrapping up, it's time for serious-head-down-work and then another term will be complete.

stepped out of one reality and into another this week. visited baby r. reminded me of the simplicity and immediateness that comes when being around a small one. everything is in the moment. it's a good place to be. wondering what he sees through those big blue eyes, what he hears through those soft little ears, and what he thinks in his perfect head...

and then there was a bus trip back into the city. although computer was on my lap, chipping away at a paper, i was able to get back into that supreme zone of blurry landscape, bouncing light. one of my favourite things, gazing out the window, things out of focus, yet so clear...

so now, nose to grindstone for just a wee bit longer.
