I got home at 2pm yesterday from the Mary Oliver retreat. It was a beautiful place to be this time of the year. The participants were beautiful people too. The quiet was just what I needed. The poetry was just what I needed. The food was just what I needed. It was all just what I needed. Even the good samaritan. I say that because my car broke down on my way up there about 7-9 miles from Drala Mountain Center. Some good Samaritan picked up Susan and I and took us to the center. On Saturday morning, I called and had a tow truck tow it into Dellenbach Subaru in Fort Collins. They will look at it today or tomorrow. It did not deter from the retreat. So my only transportation for the next few days is my red steed. Heck, maybe I’ll live the rest of my life without a car!

The unplugged weekend sounds wonderful and I’m happy you enjoyed it. Tough luck about you car, but the good Samaritan was a reward of it’s own. Something like that can make you feel like there’s still a little hope in the world.
May you car’s problem be something small, simple and inexpensive. Welcome back red-rocket!

Thank you. The retreat was wonderful for my soul. It may have been the spark I’ve needed for some time.
