We are removed from our daily life as we relocate to the aloneness and vastness of the west. These years we do not need the time to meditate and create dreams. We are in the midst of creating our most wonderful times. The idleness is disturbing.

There is so much to do that we see our vacation as just an unneeded delay. We see a new life ahead and are anxious to become absorbed in it again. Our hope is to have this thought the rest of our days. Our prayer "Oh Lord, thank you for this day, this is a prayer I hope to say to my last, my dying day."

We know that we ride a line this is firm and absolute and that the line requires only that we do our best to enjoy the journey and to do our best to bring along others for the ride.

There is a sense of urgency and non-urgency that is new again to us in its present combination. We see the urgency dissolve in a new sense of reality where the current carries us at its own pace. Our sense of urgency is swept away by knowing that what is underway can not be altered by us nor is there is the a need to.
