touched

a rich day+

foreman for a wild ride getting ready for a big boss visit, directing 30 people in numerous tasks amidst ridiculous overstock, the priority of course always staying positive which is effected by remaining detached from taking anything too personally, and receiving some very solid support

hence success

after some errands with the landlord and a nap, received a deeply moving massage with one of my favorite therapists in town, nearly beyond words, felt such compassion connection and love, all in nonverbal touch, like gosh someone understands how it is to reckon with this life, along with a couple mini spinal self-adjustments which came through deeply releasing breath while being touched, I was very close to tears of beauty much of the time, and afterwards heard how she always enjoys working with me for she gets to remember just why she does this work, then just walking cathedral park around in a renewed experience of being in the body, now the back is much more integrated, and rather than being tweaked is just a bit sore in a healing way

hallelujah

stopped by the first crew-party of the summer season, in honor of the departure of one of the sweetest people there, heading off to India and possibly Nepal, to go teach photography to girls there to empower their visioning in the world, so I went for the hugs and to just say ciao, and of course it was a great little party with a number of awesome fellow misfits (whose ways, I'd venture to say, make even my worst habits look rather tame), so I hung a bit over one very nicely done mojito, shared lots of laughter, took off around the time large glass objects appeared, and home to finish the day with a couchsurfing invitation and this blog, before hoping to get five hours sleep before tomorrow's next 4 am adventure in running a crew

feeling grateful

---------------

much easier day today...and for the first time in a while (weeks? months?), I am able to imagine continued enjoyment living here in Santa Fe, at least for the near term: things have settled back into a rhythm with the landlord that I enjoy, and the place is just lovely in the summer; work is fun, my contributions are appreciated, and the prospects for something like a career are good; add some slightly rowdier friends to play with, the possibility of some loving, and an occasional deep healing experience...and this place suddenly looks much more sustainable to me!
