It was a great trip. We agree that we could easily turn around and ride the trains for another month without boredom or regret. But it's time to get on with the more ordinary side of life, to settle into the rhythm of spring on our home turf. Snowdrops are the first flowers of our year, and we return to find them happily abundant. Geese are flying. The cones of the deodar cedars are disintegrating, distributing their seed. The signs are all around. The season is turning. A few steps ahead, then one or two back, the inevitable turning.
Yes, we are ready to be home again, ready for that huge cooperative beautifully coordinated surge of life that is about to wash over us. We take joy in The Great Mystery. Hooray for life!
