This is the first blog entry for weeks. I am still without internet at home and there is only so much I can take of sitting in Starbucks. So many things seem to have happened in the last weeks that it's tough to know where to begin.
Last time I wroteI was in Berlin (great city) and then we went on to Hamburg for a super terrific 60th birthday party for one of my oldest friends. The whole of the last few weeks seems to have been about friends, old and new.
In Hamburg I stayed with dear friends and met some new people who slotted right into my friendship file. it was so nice to connect with some unfamiliar people as if they were long-time family. It happens when we can communicate with some depth and importantly, share laughter.
From Hamburg I went on a funny road trip with my friends from the Humaniversity and because of the volcanic ash trapping us in mainland Europe we went to the Humaniversity in Holland and spent the rest of the week there.
An unexpected opportunity for Ralph and me to take beach walks together, eat herrings, and patat mit mayonaisse. Lovely to be in Egmond again. I was there to helpout with the text for the new Humaniverrsity website and had a blast working with new young staff members in their public relations department. I begin to feel like Grandma Moses when I go there. I am older than most and certainly have a breadth of life experiences that I bring.
I cooked, calligraphied and wrote and enjoyed the energetic lifestyle I live when I'm there. Finally got home on Friday by plane. Ralph did a heroic 13 hour ferry crossing in order to get to school on Friday. Really amazing how much chaos a few days without airplanes brought.
I'm back in London, feel pretty good and am in the process of picking up daily life again after a two week break. When my internet comes back I'll carry on writing in more depth, but right now in Starbucks, this is as deep as I go.
