Dead Horseshoes East-Bound-Run-Around

In about an hour we'll be taking off for our trip our east. Tonight we're in Chicago, tomorrow in Toledo, Wednesday in Pitsburgh, and Thursday through Saturday at Delfest in Cumberland, Maryland.

Oh boy, I'm excited to head east- it's been a long time. I'm excited to be in another region, excited to share the road with our good friends, Horseshoes & Handgrenades, excited to see the green Maryland appalachian goodness and contemplate things with a new perspective.

And truth be told- I'm excited to be on the road again. We've truly met so many amazing and inspiring people and I think there are lots more to come. Summer is here- season of barefoot and sunny run-around, festivals on rivers and lakes, sleeping outside, skin darkening and hair lightening...

Growth, renewal, the shedding of different selves and masks, the challenging of perspectives and beliefs and ideals, the challenge to embrace change as uncomfortable or painful as it may be.

It seems as though so many of the people I've been talking to throughout the last few weeks can relate. Things ending and beginning, people moving to the other side of the country, relationships starting and ending, packing up belongings, sorting through old pictures and letters and clothing.. sorting through the physical remnants that have made up certain parts of your life.

And really what I would like to say is that I'm proud of all of us in a sense- we're all growing and moving and paths may seem to be going in different directions and some people seem healthier or happier than others but I promise you that we are all little specks moving around doing the same thing and the bottom line is loving each other, supporting and teaching each other.


These are the things floating around in my head and I know that in a week it'll all be different again. Until then....
