We learnt a great deal by having a house guest. Visitors that spend a night or more bring a different energy into the home. They teach us things about ourselves that we may not have been aware of.

Some days are perfect, unplanned and perfect. We had one of those. A warm breakfast start, a robust, rolling singing middle and a green and gold victory to cap it off. Perfect.

After over four years of lying low, we have started to feel the urgent need to get out more, to spread our stiff and dusty wings. A full and plump weekend provided us with much to chew on.

A short and contracted week where being creative and surrendering to what is played a major role once again. Having fun and playing games brought smiles and laughter to a group of teens.

A June Sunday commemorated opposite of the ends of the generation scale: fathers and youth. Strong fathers lead to strong youth, which in turn fosters a strong and hopeful future.

By resting and listening to our bodies we beat the flu and found the capacity to get out for some creative exploits. Time to change the narrative that expects us to be on the top of our game always.

We don’t get sick. And then we did. In the throws of battling through a knock you flat flu we had to be patient, consistent and kind to ourselves, trusting that our body would do the work it needed to.

The last day of our trip signalled an opportunity to meet people that we knew through familiar links. Our trip back home continued to add gems to our list of the interesting connections we made.

Going back to places we have been before does not result in the same experience. Big trees, baboons, and bad weather could have impacted, but didn’t, what are more encounters to add to our story box.
