Dive Deep
It was time to leave, but I didn’t want to go. I didn’t want any of it to end. It’s not that I had forgotten what it felt like to be here, with these people. Or maybe I had. All I knew was that it felt so good to be with them again.
The hot summer wind blew down from the eastern mountains and swirled around us, coaxing us into an eddy of music and memories. I looked at Lise and our eyes met. We stayed there, held in gaze for no more than a few seconds, but a world passed between us. I rested my head on the back of my chair, wishing everyone could have been here, and let my eyes fall with one deep breath. I missed this. I missed them. And here, tonight, with the laughter and the music and the conversation–oh the conversation–I couldn’t help but dive into an ocean of sweet contentment.

Of course you guys busted out the music after i left!!! AUGH!! I couldn’t agree with you more as to the therapeutic effects of last night. Even though i was chasing kids for a lot of it, not all of it only because of help from good friends, it was wonderful to see you and be with everyone again. I have learned to cherish those moments as the come and go so fast. Fun post. Good to see you.
You really captured the momment Krista!!
I sure love you and your thoughts. I really, really, really wish you’d write a book. How many times do I have to tell you this? :)
Oh, man. Love the people in this album. Was Lisa in town? Sad I missed her!

Brooke is right. You NEED to write a book.
It really was such a great feeling to spend time with you and the rest of the crew. We love you and miss you already!
