Shift 9 and wiffle fun

Without fail, every Christmas Matt and I would get a wiffle ball set. We played countless games in the yard with cousins and neighbors, or just one-on-one. However or with whomever you play, wiffle ball is always fun. This week in the field, a staff brought a wiffle ball and bat, and we played copious amounts of it with the girls. It was a fun week in the field.

Quotes from the field this week:

“This is a workplace where you don’t have to keep score. Work just gets done. I am surrounded by truly generous people”.

“What you live for is what you find”

“Feel your feelings. What you resist will persistent.”

“What you keep on getting is what you are committed to.”

“I am love compassion and service”

“I think of healing as a miracle….here we try to create conditions conducive to healing.”
“Forgiveness is giving up all hope of a better past. Its an act of generosity. You don’t have to do it.”

"Climbers today are all hipsters. They learned to climbed in f****** coffee shops."



We have a lot of cacti in the field. Generally, they create a great deal of misery for us. This time of year though, they are quite beautiful with purple and pink buds waiting to bloom. I tried to capture this one, but it was sundown and the picture isn't great. Below is a great picture (from another staff) of a cactus blooming.



I have become absolutely neurotic about my skin. My sun hat and 85+ sunscreen are my best friends.
