Last night the temperature dropped to -14 and, as I followed my path from studio to cabin, weaving between the trees, I could see a clear sky with stars blazing and the Milky Way streaking overhead. So many nights while Lorena and Cristina were here we waited eagerly to see the northern lights. I have to report that I still haven’t seen any since they have been gone.
My studio seems bigger now that everyone is gone, and dinners just aren’t the same without the philosophical chats in a mixture of Spanish and English. I am enjoying my freedom of movement, but missing the companionship and being around people who understand the necessity of creating.
Cesar has been in touch with plans about what we are going to be doing in Hidalgo when I go down in the spring. In the meantime, I will enjoy the quiet time, study my Spanish verbs and collect myself for the next phase.
