Are your flys golden and semi tame? Except one.. it gets too drunk on the beer and food I share.. then he flies funny. That ones my favorite. Wild and something I never expected to care about. You'd like the dogs that bark here. Almost the right level of woof.

but are they practicing for a perfect woof or accepting or their slightly imperfect woofs? This is what is important to know about the local dog community

No perfection here.. you can tell by the various different types. There's one woof though that's close. Lives close too . Im glad because it's quiet and small. He doesn't care though. I don't think he even knows he's either of those things. I'd like to be more like that.

I just spoke about this with my therapist this morning.. Space and place AND does NY reflect my current values?

Thanks for sharing xo

wow same wavelength! New York is such a confusing one because it’s like yes and no fully and completely at the same time

This reminded me of why i love my home and the place I live, which has felt difficult at times because sometimes the cafes are all closed at once and there is nowhere to get mediterranean food. But the ocean is close, and it holds me and many others with a soft ferocity. I live in a place that is very different to the desert, but is filled with people who care for and love each other. Thank you for the reminder <3

I lived in New Mexico for ten years and connected with everything you wrote about except salt water, so it can't be there. Plus you didn't mention pecans which they have a lot of. So I'm thinking it might be in Cali some place. I hope you will be happy during your journey. I like the idea of a container for a tiny home. Be safe and keep a lookout for those schnooks!! <3
