I've been reading this book, Stone Soup, with my 4 year old, and feeling what a profound story it is, how much the world needs those travellers to trick us into being kinder, into sharing what we have, into realizing that if we combine all our own little bits of goodness, we come up with … Continue reading Stone Soup Celebration at the Farmers’ Market, September 29, for $10
Epiphanies come when I’m feeding out slack. Don’t tell my climbing partner.

Here’s one, if you need it.
