September 03 Waxing Moon

Chicago is turning out to be much slower than anticipated. It's a little harder to co-create the tour in this city. It is probably a mix of me being ready to be in Des Moines and the funeral setting the tone to the trip. However, I must defy! I must push through! You need to earn being in Des Moines and be proud of what you have done up to that point. You got this. Deep breaths and the three principles that drove me to embark on this trip in the first place are all I need. Honoring the maker as plural, replenishing the ecosystems around us, and remembering the future. It felt good to just write those down again. Recentering. I am grateful. Now time to get to work.
