 Happy Diwali!!
I realized something was up when the customer service rep from Comcast wished me "Peace, Light, and everlasting internal happiness"... And then I went to check my mail and noticed all my Hindu neighbors have strewn dried flowers everywhere in the hallway and painted their doors bright colors and hung colored lights on their Patios ( Read more... )

Thank you, Jurek :) I really hope so too... I'm really glad I went in the end. Now I'm looking over his old letters and pictures - and I feel better.
I was in touch with my sister and tried to keep her informed all the time I was there - but she had school, and got a ticket for the end of the month, which was too late. She stopped responding two weeks ago so I have no idea what's going on. But she's done it before, and I'm still to fragile to beg for someone to write back, so I guess it's her move...
The good news is that I'm taking up wood sculpting. :) My dad kept on saying "Lipa" as if they had Lipa here - and they don't... He did some experimenting when he worked at an ethnographic museum in Poland. I'm taking first steps and it turns out it's redwood for beginners. :) And it also turns out that every wood sculptor is the same no matter where they live - California or Poland... I'm taking advice from the old school crowd in both places - turns out the sculpting community I joined has sculptors from the same museum dad used to work at ;) I really hope I don't suck!
