thinking of waiting to share with you until tomorrow...
well
i couldn't
Jason and I got back at 3am last night from a nearly 2 1/2 week tent camping journey with all of the children
i know what some of you might be thinking... all 6 kids? in tents? were there bears? wild animals?
yes
and yes some more
to share with you all my thoughts in a few lines here is impossible
i am experiencing severe head rushes of euphoria while my hands are under warm running water... heck, with running water... i am finding myself any excuse to do something under that running water
as we pulled up to our little farm house here in Illinois after journeying across country... destination: the mountains of Idaho... i stood looking up at the house and remarked to all of us "it's a palace"
our tent home consisted of a 12' x 8' space (the boys had there own)
i think the only thing i can share at this moment, truly, is that i am having the most unbelievable sensation that doors seem not natural
i don't know how to describe it... but i haven't closed any doors to leave things behind or go forward except when we had to jump in the car to get to our next "mountain location"
that, and i had no idea how much stuff i don't need until now
here i thought i had stripped myself of most of it before the trip, but the mountains have gotten into my soul... the valleys are running deep
it will take some time to record all my thoughts... recipes... personal journey
peace + fresh air blessings,
