and my absence has been so much about what is going on in our life, rather than any stand i'm taking about being here. and i love all the things opening up and blooming around us. and i love the changes taking place within and around me. and i'm thankful for the challenges, for they are making me think and making me see my place at it is; so lucky and fortunate and full. and the first bird starts singing at five thirty, and i wake with it and have a few minutes awake then, to panic and reassess and be glad for the two more hours before i need to reckon. and i've said it before, but i love it all. xo, tt
