We are off the mountain for good, “camped” at the beach, trying to take in whatever this is that we have just done. It doesn’t feel momentous yet … but it is. We are exhausted and stretched but starting to unwind from this past week’s constant high tension. My beloved ceramic Christmas tree is lit up and colorful. The dogs are dancing around Steve making dinner, hoping for some cheese tidbits, the generator is giving electricity for the moment but soon we will have none. Ultimately, solar power will facilitate computing but tonight electricity is limited in supply. Best to turn off my computer for the evening. Wow… it’s a new life.
