Here we go!

March 7th

I am sitting watching a hawk glide in the wind over a lush valley. When I happened upon this serene spot yesterday afternoon, I decided that I would spend two nights here...but really I’ve got almost nowhere to be by any certain time. So I am mostly persuaded by the cycle of the moon and the starts and when I get hungry, or tired.

I stayed with a friend who had wi-fi a couple of nights ago and when I logged onto my ipad I realized I was behind on my shows, like really behind. Where I’m camping right now has no cell service. So I made friends with some other campers. It dawns on me that I am further behind on keeping up with people and this is much more important then any show.

Wait! it’s been a few months and perhaps were only catching up now- and I don’t even know that your’e catching up with me ( Please let me know!). Our family has embarked on an adventure that was perhaps a long time coming and a short time planned. Many people  had many questions. Some of them thought provoking, some a little silly. I will address that in a few days on a Q&A post.

So how did this start? A dream? A conversation? The pull of the cosmos on my curiosity? Yes. It began with Walden, with Travels With Charlie, with On The Road and a hundred other books that sparked the imagination for places undiscovered. It began with a belief that experiences are the best thing you can own and a feeling that sitting at home researching preschools wasn’t really how I wanted to spend my time. It began with my husband saying, “ Ok lets do it!”

I mean that’s the gist of it and of course I’ll get existential in future post.

I’ll also post pictures and write about where the heck we happen to be. 

Good night and Safe Travels,

H
