Paragliding in California- the scariest thing I’ve ever done!
“ Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back.
That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least
that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those mem-
ories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the work-
ings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards.
We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change
the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your
own private library.”

Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

This is my happy spot: In an accepting community, sharing music (this
is The Brother's Comatose), silly, joy and dance.

I recently enjoyed a weekend at this cabin in Santa Cruz
Mountains.
