We said that so many times over the last few days. “Shhhh. Listen… it’s soooooo quiet.” That was really what we were needing. Complete silence. It was deafening. And we realized we hadn’t heard that sound for a long time. The sound of nothing. We kept going back and forth and around and around on…
I can’t believe it’s the 4th of July! We are still in this strange and wonderful place where it doesn’t matter what day it is. Or what time it is. We can go wherever we want. And stay as long as we like. And no one needs us. Thanks for your guesses on where we…
