Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.

Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.

Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.

Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.

~Pueblo blessing

Hi Adele
I just got back from my kayak trip in the Johnstone Strait in BC. It was a full five senses experience. The waves splashed my face and I could taste the salt water. The ocean water was very cold up that way. The soft spongy ground we slept on was often a midden, made of millennia of clam shells, topped with soil and pine needles. The whole place smelled so fresh and earthy. We could constantly hear crows squawking and bald eagles squeaking. The landscape was beautiful, mountains, islands of rock and trees, glistening whitecaps and we even saw a humpback whale slowly surface and dive and heard it breathe. Here are a couple sketches from my waterproof sketchbook (which was never truly tested); one of giant driftwood on a beach (everything seems to be Jurassic-sized in BC) and another or moi paddling!
Hope to see you in Consecon.
With love, Martha
