respite

I am back from my trip to the states. A very welcome respite, a change of scenery, a nice visit with my family, hikes in the misty gentle mountains of NC, swims in the ocean. I saw a praying mantis eating a wriggling wasp, a teenie tiny hyper vole zipping along a trail i was on, schools of silvery fish skipping out of the water, regal blue herons along the marshy shoreline.
Now back in Oaxaca with my sweetie. Sipping on passionfruit juice this morning in the sun thinkin that life is mighty fine.
