One of My fondest memories is of a hot summer evening, coming home from an outing with the woman I loved and walking in the house and realizing she was not behind Me, when I looked out the window that overlooked the backyard I witnessed her chasing fireflies and giggling...I have never seen anything...quite...so...beautiful. I miss her still.

I have many fond memories from my childhood.

In this particular one, I was up at my Uncle Tom's camp (a beautiful handcrafted log cabin in the Adirondacks, where I spent many of my formative years) with my Grandparents. The camp is on a stretch of white water river and in the middle of the woods. As young children we were encouraged to explore and play; and I was quite rough & tumble.

I remember running breakneck through the woods, down hills and lithely over roots and boulders, into ravines and over streams. I was laughing and squealing with glee and it felt like flying - I remember thinking (in my 7year old brain) "this is what freedom feels like".

I still hold that memory close, especially when I am feeling overwhelmed with stress and obligation.

My fond memories are all about cars. Driving my grandfather's Packard, my 62 Caddy, 68 black Bug, 68 Fury, 76 Dodge Monaco, and restoring my 75 popup Westfalia VW camper van. Now, I am making new memories restoring my 76 dispatch jeep.

It's odd the things that stick with you.

I once overheard a co-worker telling another co-worker that no matter how tough this is(the job), at the end of the day we still have each other. For some reason that comforted Me through a lot of 80 hour work weeks.

It is simple, obvious and trite, and it still comforts Me today.

When she sat naked, at My feet and read Me The Velveteen Rabbit while I wept.

Waking and saddling up in the cold dark, riding out over the mesa and listening to the sounds of saddle leather, the high pitched ring of bits and spurs, shod hooves over rock, that and the faint glow from a cigarette being dragged on the only way I knew there were other riders around me in the pre-dawn dark. No talking, we weren't quite awake and we weren't to the cattle.

Then the sun broke over the plains, shot clean and undiffused between two volcanic hills, a beacon over the grasslands. I could see who I rode with now, Roger Long, Old Jessie the Drunk, Harvey Shannon, Raymond, and others whose names I've forgotten.

But what I remember most was the way the sound began to rise, eerie, mournful, broken and hopeful as an enormous flock of Sandhill Cranes suddenly made their migratory way above us.

In that moment, I made a mental note, and thanked my favorite and good mare for bringing me there, right then, that day.

December 5th, 2005. I got on a plane, Hawaii bound. CherryFemme. There she was with that incredible smile. I started my life again and left everything else behind me. Just like magic.

Staying in a rustic commune in New Hampshire where the most exciting thing we (the children) did was kneel beside the water and stay quiet and still until tadpoles and minnows swam into our open hands.
