Today is the first day of my independent life in California with my patchwork family of friends and co-workers. I am content with the boxes that surround me in my loft apartment just because it is my bit of country. I saw a fox this morning playing with some squirrels in and among my landowners goats. Wild turkeys welcomed me into town as I followed P in the moving truck. I am reconnecting to my mother, mother earth and my brothers and sisters. Witnessing the sun rise within the foggy clouds spotted with blue sky filled me with a sense of peace I have never known.
