No children anywhere; they all seem to pull at my heart-strings, my inner fixer-upper-put things-right urge and I leave all that behind. One week of sleeping in my own little tent, listening to the sounds of others still awake and strumming and belting it out at the bonfire...or I am with them, dancing to the free rythyms of my soul. 7 days, 6 nights to sleep, think, focus and meander in my mind as i wish. And adult company! And we don't speak of children and we take classes and try out new stuff and I occasionally call home but the connections are mercilessly unreliable. As am I, for one whole week.
