I am missing vacation and the west and less stress
I don’t want to go to work anymore
I am anxious and nervous about “selling” my “art”
I am procrastinating
I am really not digging liars
I feel stressed out now that vacation is over
I am confused and searching
I am questioning my purpose and my place
I am enjoying the last 2 days of summer
I am feeling the cool summer breeze
I am unable to sleep
I feel vulnerable
I am craving a lazy day of affection and reflection and connection
I am post-vacation, end-of-summer sad

Just got back Sunday night from our trip out west. We were in Utah, Idaho (so much more beautiful than I expected), Wyoming, and Montana. What a trip. Tons of fun, tons of beauty, tons of powerful nature surrounding us. Yellowstone, Glacier, Grand Tetons, ghost towns, Salt Lake, bunches of other mountains and forests, geysers, hot springs, waterfalls, canyons…. A bit chilly for a summer vacation (it flurried the morning after we arrived and we had a snow covered hike in Glacier). It was great though…. HERE are lots of pictures. It was sad sad sad to be back in New Jersey with all of the speediness and pollution and noise and light… Such is life I suppose….

Some of the wild animals we saw (spotting animals was one of the best parts – especially in Yellowstone!)

Bison (buffalo) – my favorite! So much fun to watch.
Elk - the males are awesome – big horns and crazy sound that they make
Mule Deer
Coyote
Moose (mom and baby)
Black bear (no grizzlies unfortunately and fortunately)
Birds which I am not good at identifying
Lots of cows
Dogs, squirrels, chipmunks….
Slept with a packrat….yuck…
(Dave, what did I miss?)

And here are just a few pics…

I saw this here. So fitting for this time… Thanks!

Title Page by Rilke

It’s easy for the rich and fortunate to be silent,
nobody wants to know who they are.
That is why the destitute must show themselves,
must say: I am blind,
or: that is what I’m about to become,
or: it’s not going very well with me here on Earth,
or: I have a sick child,
or: this is where I’m kind of all stuck together . . .

And perhaps even that is not enough.

Despite everything, as if they were things,
people walk right by, and so they must sing.

And one hears good music there.

Truly, people are strange; They’d
rather hear castrati in boys’ choirs.

But God himself comes and remains a long time
when these disfigured ones begin to disturb him.
