Chirp-Chirp-Chirp BirdHouse Notes

Maria and I were enjoying our typical breakfast of oatmeal and toast, when it hit me: I am going to miss toast! I think it would be super tasty to have hot buttered toast, sitting outside the tent, beneath redwood trees, a creek playing over stones in the distance, the blue jays waking and flitting in the branches. Hot buttered toast in the great outdoors. What a vision.

When you pack for camping, do you bring too much, way too much, or not nearly enough? I'm trying to get it right for our adventure north. I'm definitely remembering to bring sleeping pads... thanks to friends who are lending us theirs. What do you consider to be indispensable when you are in a tent for days and days? I'd love to know!

The scarier the world looks, the deeper I retreat into gratitude, and happy reflection on the things that are working... at least, that is what I try to do. I feel such a pit of sorrow and grief for the wars and struggles, for the pain that is being inflicted. Drought, fire, storms, missiles, losses, shootings, hate, petty greed... oh, stop! I do not hide from the realities, but really, I must escape the pull, the dark sorrow that stops air from moving, hopes from forming. Wherever I can, I breath deeply of good things, and in so doing, I can function, move forward, and do the small things I can... for peace, for hope, for love. It's looking like a long hot summer... violent and short-fused, with flare-ups and strife. It's hard to face. I'm adding more lemons to our library, sharing eggs, and egg salad, making lots of donations to our area thrift store, and driving in the slow lane, letting others merge, smiling at strangers. I hope it helps.
