I am home now and over the past few days have begun outdoor excursions to relearn how to walk, and build strenght in my legs. So i am walking far less than 26 minutes yet now fully understand your words. Just to feel the wind on my face, the sun warm me, and obseve this small world feels like a gift. And I dream of the mountains.

An elderly Chinese woman was rooting around in the overgrown weeds along the creek bank. I stopped and asked what she was looking for. She held up a plant I'd never seen before. The only English word she had for me was "medication" but by the way she rubbed her stomach as she said it, I understood. So your walk last week stretched all the way to a Sonoma County creek!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-26401139450819905842010-03-21T13:41:49.515-07:002010-03-21T13:41:49.515-07:00rest in peace , jade. walk in peace and love and h...rest in peace , jade. walk in peace and love and health, patry.Maryanne Stahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461617567840191096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695927.post-77020651783350587622010-03-20T15:40:54.810-07:002010-03-20T15:40:54.810-07:00How I love your writing dear Patry!
