Returning home last night after a loooooooong plane trip, amidst the sadness of missing Tamar, Dan & Damian, I was acutely aware of the softness and gentleness of the environment here. That, and the raw and wild quality that exists at the same time. A good place to have a home base.
Before I left, Damian came up to me unprompted and told me he would miss me. That when I come back at Christmas I should stay until the next Christmas, stay for the whole year because he loves me. Not possible, but not a bad idea!
