Not many words this week--others are saying it better than I can. Rachel Carson:

"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts."

Vivid dreams lately. In one last week, a carpenter, a friend, came and helped me put together a bookshelf. He accidentally shot himself in the eye with a staple gun and I sat and held his hand while we waited for the ambulance. What I remember the most was this huge love I felt holding the hand of a friend. I woke up with it, and have kept it with me for a week now. Sustaining.
