Wonderful to hear of your timely and sometimes not so timely Equatime adventures. My very first concern is the bread you refer to several times a day. I worry that you have enough butter!! I am confident that you understand this thought. Speaking of worries and learning from our “missteps” (pun intended), I am so glad that you did not tell us what could have happened to your camera along with your hamstrings while skipping along on the river rocks! Thank heaven (where the only Being who can really walk on water resides) you were not hurt! For some reason our family has been blessed with young men who are very comfortable with bravery above brains and God knows you all have been blessed with gargantuan brains. When you return to us you will be bursting with new experiences that will forever flavor your lifetime…and ours, as we are not so courageous and curious! Please give our best to your new family and say a prayer to your Guardian Angel each night as you drift asleep to the sounds of the river. We love you. PS: I think you are being taught to plant and recycle because the day will come, before you know it, when you will have to say goodbye and you will feast on what you planted and your mind will recycle this adventure always! One of your Mom’s favorite sayings is “Bloom where you are planted”! Don’t forget sunshine!
