Pepperrelle Cove just off Kittery point, ME.  This morning I was adrift, so to speak, wondering what I was returning to in Maine. Here I was, expecting to get out of my familiar habits, new frontiers, etc. and now I'm returning. Grateful to have home and friends to return to but/and.... now what? Hoping to keep some of the space, psychic space, I've enjoyed without pressure of "work" and jobs (volunteer or otherwise). Hoping to keep mornings sacred to meditate and be spacious...open space for important messages or.....intuitions.....or whatever. But the discipline to stay vacant!!! Odd as that sounds.

Classic sunset in Maine - Pepperrelle Cove near Kittery

 We had a great day of motoring with the wind on our nose. Easy, though, with mild seas. Careful decision making about York Harbor or Portsmouth  Harbor. It tickles me that I know some of the things to consider - tide, wind, time of day, etc. Reading some, comfortably while David steered. Being helms person some. Not able to get into internet to do homework. Picked up our friend, Ben Fowler, who brought Mexican take-out, and dined on a mooring with him. Great laughter. great remembering how we'd supported our parents as they passed. Wonderful sharing of difficult times and some of our regrets, knowing we all did the best we could. Getting colder. Ready to get back to Freeport and see what comes next. Sweet "sail" today. Reading interesting book The education of Oversoul Seven by the woman who wrote the seth books.
