I've been in Santa Fe the last few days, taking in the town in between organizing my car a bit, catching up on my website and getting my maps for the project in order with images of the work so far.

It has been a good chance to think about all the connections that have already happened and embrace with so much gratitude and thanksgiving the power of openness, presence, and each other.

I treated myself to something today. I was in the store and I saw a guy that was doing chair massage. I have never had chair massage and he had an opening. For fifteen minutes I sat there and he took sometime reaching my shoulders, arms, and back and the last 1,500 miles. When he finished he asked if he could give me his business card if I was interested in coming back sometime, I told him that I don't live in town, he said that's okay maybe next time, I said sure and thank you.

I walked outside, and looked at the card, it read, "Welcome to your Self."

The sun came out this afternoon through the darkest grey. I walked on museum hill and by the Botanical gardens, smelling the freshly soaked plants and giving thanks.

Tomorrow I head back on the road.
