I wrote the following while I was on retreat, so if airy-fairy feel-good "I'm OK, You're OK" posts make you nauseous, then head on over to one of my past Tent Pitches until this one cycles off the top of the blog.Here we go.There is joy in the view of a bare mountain face;in the sounds of a gurgling brook;in the warmth of an embrace;in the chill of an early morning;in a steaming bowl of homemade soup.There is joy in a silhouette at sunrise;in the purr of a cat;in the smile of a fellow traveler;in a feeling of gratitude;in a sweat well-earned;in a hot shower.There is joy in the faint sound of birdsong;in the crunch of dry grass underfoot;in the sound of sudden laughter;in an unexpected flavor;in having a secret;in voices joined together.

I just learned about yet another pointless yet entertaining blog analyzing tool. So of course I had to try it.
Got this from Towleroad. The tiny part of me that still remembers being picked last for kick-ball cringes at this, but the rest of me smiles bitterly at the comeuppance.
Trying to recap the weekend is kind of challenging, since so much went on.As everyone else has already posted about the national rally for marriage equality, I'm just going to give you my link to my Flickr photo set.
Sorry, I've been AWOL for a bit too long, at least as far as I'm concerned. I didn't have a chance for a Friday post, then I was out of town all weekend, through Monday.
Lest you think we in New York City want to keep all the fun for ourselves, you should know that this Saturday there is a nationwide, nay even global, coordinated protest against the passage of Proposition 8.
