Live from Grunewald

This is my obligatory cheery post. I'm arting this week in the mountains. It is so nice to be in a place and feel at home. Here I feel like I can be who I am and be loved for whatever that is. It is a great feeling. I'm taking a class in Calligraphy, learning how to write beautifuly and in my mind undoing the D I got in penmanship in 2^nd grade. I think it is working. I also meet new people. It is nice to meet people and just live with them for a week. You get real insight into a variety of backgrounds and life experiences, you meet people dealing with the same struggles and people who you never could have imagined. And You can be in community. It is a joy. I'm always happy to come and regretful upon leaving. But for now, it is good. very good.
