What a crazy coincidence that I check my blog and it has been exactly 1 year. 365 days. 1 solar cycle. (Approximately) 12 lunar cycles.
Tomorrow is C's birthday, and weather I think about it as one year from her last birthday, or 1 year ago, so much has happened in this 1 year. I think I could come up with a major life challenge or accomplishment for every month!
My frank and honest written note to myself from Monday sums up the year nicely:
"I am so torn by the life of the businesswoman--successful, productive, powerful, savvy, making women proud, proving, improving. But it is boring in an office. The catch-22 of the powersuit. Why is it 'better' to have the powersuit reputation?"

You know you're personal geography is chaos when you get a phone call from the library telling you your library card is in.
The library in the town in which you lived.....2 home-places ago.
Yes, the library in the town in which I lived two towns ago called me today. It's only 4,000+ miles away....

Ode to the Red Rocks!
Shining bright
when the varnish reflects
and the smooth coals of rocks
glow
it fills the soul with warmth.

A Poem from the Trail Rondy about Shared Use (nerd I am)
They came together with motors and soles
voices together discussing their foes
the challenges, each other, creatively woven
talking together, it's touchy, they've chosen
to attend a place the others will be
and they find it's the haters and aggressors they seeth
the idiots who disregard their fellow humans
"Your work ain't worth a dime," their treads yell as they're zoomin'
without a face to step up to the plate
admit that the action involves lots of hate
the do-er, aggressor, whatever you call 'em.
Did they know what they're doing, when they tore up a trail that day then?
Is it ignorance that an idiot makes
or malice that feeds the idiocy debate?
If we saw the action could we stop them, would we try?
Would they understand when they see the white in our eyes?
The potentials for salt water tears welling up saying "this trail is forever, we hope, we want
your action may ruin it all for the rest on foot or with motor, we all like the jaunts
but one day done wrong because you didn't know
or worse--didn't care that your action would show
and last for decades--year at best
unless someone comes, heavy equipment to test
if the trail needs rebuilding it might be ruined
but if not we'll come together like bruins
tough and ready, to tackle and restore
come together and unite, to make so much more
we'll conquer the idiocy and ignore the idiots
focus on family and friends, really it's
all about the future--not years but tomorrow
to retain our neighbors and the land that we borrow.
