Words from Squam

paper lanterns @ Havenwood

Still too overwhelmed to write anything remotely coherent about it, I offer you a braindump of words that come to mind when I reflect on my Squam experience:

Sun, warmth, growth, play, paint, colour, fear, perseverance, energy, vibe, nature, quiet, water, stillness, cozy, fire, loons, mist, art, artists, trial, error, success, tears, pushing, limits, learning, creating, teaching, nurturing, photos, books, words, fun, FOOD, support, giggles, laughter, tribe, smiles, woman, blossoming, beautiful, glowing, strangers, friends, acceptance, hope, belonging, connection, community, openness, pivotal, moments, butterflies, ready, alive, love.

More to come later; it seems I am processing in bits & pieces.

Jag, I can't see the Woooorrrrdle!!! (whine, whimper)I'm guessing I don't have the latest browser Java stuffs to see it. I'll ask my resident tech support to look into that!
