When I look out the window, I see beautiful mountains, lively forests and a talkative river. I spend my day cooking for guests and meeting their other needs, caring for my animals and thinking and reflecting.My belief is that we are all a part of the universe, and however small that part may be, it gives us our individual place in life.As there are usually three or four questions everyone seems to have for me I keep answering day in, day out, I feel a longing for conversations about other things, to see the world from a different perspective than mine, and simply make lasting friendships.
