Had a wonderful day with the women from my old Thursday night African
dance class; we had a day of walking in the redwoods and then dancing
and drumming in Felton, at the local yoga studio which rents out for
such things. Then I participated in a concert/get together for my
singing group, the Voice Weavers. It was quite fun~
We did temporarily lose a couple of people in the Henry Cowell Redwoods park where we walked
(we
found them again, on the wrong trail), and a four-mile hike was
miscalculated as a one mile hike. I think I have hiked ten miles in two
days.
I am hoping m's critical words will be erased
from my memory at some point...I brush them off, but they detract from
my day a little and I do not like that. As I hiked today, one of his
statements popped into my head, of the first time we hiked and my
concern that I was not in hiking shoes and felt really vulnerable. He
retorted that HE used to hike BAREFOOT for miles.
Astronomy
news: I've been observing Comet Lovejoy and detected a definite
nucleus, and also saw the Andromeda galaxy. There have been excellent
skies over the last couple of nights
My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.
