The Wayfarers by Rupert Brooke Is it the hour? We leave this resting-place Made fair by one another for a while. Now, for a god-speed, one last mad embrace; The long road then, unlit by your faint smile. Ah! the long road! and you so far away! Oh, I’ll remember! but . . . each crawling day Will pale a little your scarlet lips, each mile Dull the dear pain of your remembered face. . . . Do you think there’s a far border town, somewhere, The desert’s edge, last of the lands we know, Some gaunt eventual limit of …

I was in Victoria Tuesday and Wednesday and, in addition to working, found out a few other things about my regular routine there: Tuesday’s there is an Irish session (with some other tunes) at the Bent Mast Pub in James Bay.

It meant that truly the only thing that wasn’t cooperating was just the weather. So my day began early as a storm rolled into Ottawa, winds coming up the Valley …

Back from a two week road trip. Less blogging than I thought I’d do as I was mostly out of range and trying just to turn off and spend time with the kids while we drove through New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Nevada. Highlights included three days working with Teresa Posakony, Tenneson Woolf and Roq Gareau doing an Art of Hosting with the Navajo Nation health promotion folks. Tenneson has some photos of our work and harvest at his flickr site. We have some amazing things cooking as a result of that work, including a community based peer support project …
