Dear Abundance House

The past two weeks have been truly marvelous. From stories around the fire to graceful dinners with loving soups, artisanal morning rituals to treks on the power line trail, deep library work to freestyle rap—I will miss our cozy perch on Ski Run Boulevard.

It pains me to leave unexperienced the beauty yet to come in this magical space, for I have no doubt it will be even more deepening and whole... But I'm an outdoor cat and drank my fill of milk on the porch. My soul has crafted, been forged anew. I'm called elsewhere, so it's time to rove onward and bow farewell.

Each of you has transformed me, in unique and special ways. I couldn't possibly enumerate all the inputs, from big questions and oxygenating movements to small comments and fleeting half-smiles. We conspired in congregation.

From the outset, our glorious leader astutely observed how we all channel tremendous life force. I loved paddling in this river, unable to fathom its bottom, made ever greater and more pleasurably sweet by virtue of togetherness. May it never cease flowing!

I'm eternally grateful, in no particular order, to Aaron, Chloë, Anosha, Richie, Aly, Helena, Justin, Soul, Harrison, Shaun, Adam, Jason, Jesse (and Weston) for these most magnificent couple weeks of life together. More than anything, thanks for being you—sawubona.

I depart our little parlor overflowing with abundance and joy. Whether it's ten minutes or ten years in the future, please never hesitate to call on me. The infinite game certainly includes phone tag, if not frequent visits, with old friends.
