Besides the endless, relentless rain this past weekend was pretty darned great. Took us 11 hours to get to VT on Friday night! Whew! Saturday went to the open house at Goddard. I loved it! I was pulled in as soon as people started speaking about their experiences there and why they decided to go and what they were doing at Goddard. It was so great! Finding your voice and expressing yourself while balancing community and responsibility for self and global responsibility and free thinking and I’m simplifying it, but it was just excellent and I want to go there!

Saturday went down to Chatham, NY and here are some pictures from the night. Risk was in full effect. Thanks Marls (some of these are her pics)!

Erich and I doing…I’m not sure what…

Marly…quite in game mode.

A little prayer for the battle?

It sucks to go out first in Risk! You end up sitting around, drinking tequila and beer, and taking a million photos – of the neverending game.

For the record, I believe everyone quit the game by 6 am…. and there was no winner.

The wind hit me and I felt complete

Felt the peace stream into my body

Felt it slither into my heart and my mind

Not a slow slinky slithering…

It washed into me quickly and relentlessly

In goodness…a clearing out of sorts.

And then Monday arrived.
