Stunned

A flury of action and I feel a bit like someone just spun my world around and upside down. Part of it was good, amazing; part of it was terrible.
Another trip to Salt Spring. Early wake ups, long ferry rides. Rewalking our path and remembering how wonderful it is to have found ourselves where we are. Glass calm water glowing deep blue at dawn and winding country roads with the bright moon still hanging in the sky.
Back in Deep Cove for a weekend as usual. But unusual. Soaking up the sun atop the Brigadoon. Glass calm morning waters again, but on my own this time. Walking through familiar places and breakfast in the park in dappled shade. Creaking wooden boards under my feet on familiar docks with familiar faces. I had the feeling I was getting a preview of the summer to come.
