Up early, after the phone rang from family on the east coast this morning. On Friday I head to Maine for a month, the first of many stays that will eventually transition into trips to Seattle to visit, rather than the other way around.<\/p>\n
Big changes, whose outline I knew before I rode into the deeps of Alaska and Canada. They’re more defined now, and the shape slowly seeps out for others to see.<\/p>\n
Mom stirs in her tent, half awake, and smile in back of my Suburban. After 20 days on the road, setting up a tent isn’t fun and the back of the truck is conveniently dry. It also carries meaning, as I look forward to seeing Kate and building a relationship together, the truck reminds me of those past.<\/p>\n
So much is changing, as my reevaluated priorities take form from action. Nobody is up to date at any one time. Much else is unknown and insecure, and I suppose that it always is so it is worth accepting this.<\/p>\n
Have I not been writing because I’ve been busy? Has Kate received that energy like Z or M once did? Perhaps with so much change, I’m feeling out what I want, and acting on it, without much idle reflection in the middle.<\/p>\n
Moving forward, and I’ll look around at what remains when I get there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
