the whirlwind in which we see those places bj previously called home and we visit the greatgrandmothers

asher and i are on a trip to california
which is an extension of a trip to jackson, mississippi
my hometown. well sort of.
it's where i grew up
but it's not mine anymore
and that was an extension of a trip to northeast mississippi
where i was born and where i spent many summers
to help move and settle in my 94 year old mississippian to the core grandmother
who just moved back to ms from an extended 4 year stay in ca
and as a prequel to that trip aaron and asher and i went to visit bradley and nada and logan
in the glorious sequatchie valley near chattanooga tn
a very significant place to me in the explorations and adventures of my lifetime thus far
now asher and i are in the bay area
staying with my parents
and karin is here too
today we're going up to grass valley for a visit with asher's other greatgrandmother
this is all very significant and overwhelming in ways that i haven't identified yet
...
i'm getting lots of practice staying at peace or bringing myself back to peace when things are complex and complicated
