Today, the New Mexico Feels hit all at once. Took longer than I expected, and manifested differently too.

Over the weekend I worked a lot on the yard, finally getting the stone circle int he back to a point where, it's not done, but I can see 'done' from here.

Today, standing outside the hardware store, heading to get more stuff for that project, I was struck by this strange feeling of... not-quite-deja-vu, but... connectedness, home-ness. A feel that being _here_ was like being _there_.

I'm forming connections to the land here, that remind me of my connections to the land there, which will probably always be very strong. It makes me yearn to be there, while at the same time, very happy with what I'm doing. It's strange.

That makes it two things, at the same time: What I feared might be a very emotionally difficult result oft hat trip, and what I hoped might be a very emotionally fulfilling result of the trip.

Sooo.... yaaay...?
