Back now.

The move to our mountain home has been much more time-and-energy consuming than I imagined it would be. Running has been one of the casualties, not to mention making entries in this journal.

(When this journal began it had a different focus. I've edited it to reflect new realities in my life, but there may still be some references that may here seem puzzling. I'll continue to search through past entries for consistency with my current efforts.)

Moving into a new community has been a constant source of deep joy. Moving boulders and trees around the mountainside to lay the groundwork for later landscaping has been great, great fun and rewarding beyond words.

At the same time, much of the satisfaction I get from running comes from doing it consciously, not wanting to add chaos and busyness to a full life. At this time in my life I enjoy having extra white space in my days, time to simply Be, without having to Do.

It feels now like I can ease back into my Running Life, and continue making occasional entries in my journal here.
