Good morning!

It’s Sunday, and June has arrived. This puts us at a crossroads of two very different Respite traditions.

One path leads to nature, where we always spend a quiet moment on Sundays. The other path leads us down to the town dock, where everyone has already gathered to sing and dance their way into this new month.

I propose we enjoy a bit of both traditions this morning—starting with the singing and dancing and a cartwheel or two. Be careful on that roof!

Now, let’s leave the harbor, head down the old dirt road, and find a quiet spot on the rocks to catch our breath.

“Balance, that's the secret. Moderate extremism. The best of both worlds.”

—Edward Abbey

Onwards we go,
