Things I've learned about myself.

lo2

I have friends in town this week. And I have learned the following things:

1. I need 8 hours of sleep a night, and if I don’t get it, I am exhausted and tired and cranky.

2. I love to rock climb, beach or no beach.

3. I love the ocean, and sandwiches with chick peas and avocado.

4. I want to live on a street called Citrus.

5. I love yoga.

6. Nature is my soul.

Dear China…with Love

china_missing_you

Dear China,

I am writing because I wanted to say that I missed you. I know your life has gone on without me, and that you hardly even noticed that I had left. But I remember all the good times we had together, and I wanted to say that I’m sorry I didn’t say a proper goodbye. I regret my leaving, and even though you will hardly remember my coming during your 5,000+ year history. Someday, I hope, you’ll remember all those days we spent together in the shade of smog-clouds. All the times you let me explore your historical monuments such as the Great Wall or the Temple of Heaven. I miss you terribly, and I think of it often.

Sincerely,

Your loving, favorite American
