One of my best friends in the world drove off tonight, shouting out the window. "Bye Kate. See you in the rainbow." We speak the same language. Zoe is two. And like I said, she is one of my best friends. We understand each other. From the heart.
She and her mom and dad are moving up to Seattle, where it rains more and people drink more coffee. The angsty cafe scene and all. Mountains, too. Zoe's mom Brandi is also a good friend, and a very important mentor in my life. Seeing them leave (with bellies full of delicious paneer), feels like saying goodbye to some of the best parts of me. This is metaphorical of course. But, it just seems like Zoe brings out the best in me. My mind gets wide and expansive and my imagination fills with the possibility of impossibilities. We dance with our shadows and fly in flocks through the parking lot. We color our skin blue and give personalities to plastic. We hug like we mean it. I love Zoe. Lots. And I am going to miss her. Lots, too.
Love you Zo.

Living River Blog is a chronicle of my path along the banks of life and my submersion into the deep waters of personal inquiry. Through my contemplations and writing, I reflect on the sacred process of transformation that exists as the wellspring of all true healing.
