"How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard."
~Carol Sobieski ~
And so, the time has come to leave Santa Fe and head back East, where our blood is, where our spirits are supported by the pastoral green countryside, and where we came from only a short year ago. And yet, we leave something behind at the same time, something powerful, and heartfelt, and real- good friends, hard-won lessons, and the Big Tesuke Trail; the desert colors, the ravens and coyotes, and the wide clear sky.
Endings are also beginnings and beginnings also endings. I am forever changed by my time in the land of adobe and color, and carry it with me as I travel forth.
I carry my experiences with me as I move on down the road.
