77 days away from paying work, schedules imposed by others, and urban atmospheres have provided me with a blessed abundance of reading inspired by my own real stories, which are teaching me important lessons and reminding me of certain ideas and ideals which have guided me to beautiful treasures in the past.  This is a welcome experience in this often solitary existence this summer, with an uncertain but potentially bright near future on the horizon.

I am thankful for all the energies which came together to present me with these incredible resources so that I understand my journeys and the world's stories along the way each day
