Organizing My Thoughts

[windinthemaples]

I, like Sarah, am still mentally tackling how to write about the weekend I spent visiting willow_cabin and mermaiden in New York. I think my experiences and thoughts can best be separated into some subject categories. They'd be something like:

Graeme's Growing Up, an end of an era, really, where I left him for the first time. We both learned that it was possible, that he was old enough and independent enough to be without his mama and that Daniel could be a great single parent.

Vegan Nom Nom Nom. Food? Oh, yes, we had amazing (vegan) meals in New York from shmancy restaurant to simple sunset picnic.

People (and Animals) as Conduits to the Divine. Psychic readings, channeled messages, inspired insights, supernatural practical jokes. It seemed like I was hyper-aware and connected to those messages from the Universe.

Life is Good and the World is Beautiful Like, whoa.

I'll have to finish uploading my photos and do some mental sorting and filing before I come back to those topics and the weekend's great fun. In the meantime, I have my Tuesday dentist date (awesome, super, eep) and a bunch of psychic travel homework for my Inner Temple apprenticeship to catch up on, and then preparations for another weekend away--this time with rubymulligan, sweet and sarcastic girl after my own heart. :D

Love the icon photo! :)

I can't wait to hear everyone's stories of the weekend. It sounds amazing. And look you, traveler! *raises hand* I too am in Traveler's Anon. XD

:) Daniel, Graeme and I seem to spend more days out of town than in. It is part too-small condo and (a much bigger) part wanderlust.

Heh, to quickly interject and correct my lack of coherent sentences: "And look AT you, traveler!" Okay, I'm done now. ;)

Wanderlust is the fuel behind all of my travel (and my dwindling bank account, oops). It's like breathing to me - without it, I'm not sure exactly what I'd be doing. It's always a pleasure to know other people who have that same feeling - not to mention read their AMAZING stories and adventures!

I think it's wonderful you take Graeme with you so often, by the way. I've read many stories about adults today who were taken on countless family trips as children and teens. Their view on the world is just amazing. It'll be interesting to see what Graeme thinks~

I hope so. His family is spread across the globe, so I think he'll grow up with a pretty broad and tolerant viewpoint. With the world becoming so flat, so to speak, it seems like time is the main constricting factor to travel. D and I get to where we're wedging extra jaunts into our schedules, last minute, sideways or however we can get them to fit. So, I guess my main constricting factors are time and clean laundry to repack into my suitcase. :D
