Really back
Today was the first day that really felt "back at Heartwood". It's so good to be back. Over less than a week I forgot how "heartful" this place is. I forgot to maintain that way of being when I leave.
After dinner was an ice cream social. Official introductions between the new workstudy students and the rest of us who were here and available tonight. The ever-shifting nature of the community is one thing that reminds me regularly to let go of attachments, to allow flow out as well as in, and to keep breathing, fully, consciously. That said, it was nice to meet them, welcome them, say hi.
Tomorrow is the first day of Swedish. I'm excited, and pleased that I'm excited. I'm pleased to have the space to be excited. I think that's a function of two things: having done "nothing" over break, and having arrived Friday night. Lesson from mid-quarter break learned :-)
