Log:
A northern California rainy morning made it hard to wake up today. I did get moving early enough to make it to CCAT on time, so it turned out okay. Because of the rain we spent the morning inside. Rosie was organizing her beloved filing cabinets and I was reading and taking notes on various CCAT binders. I was excited to find a binder with program/workshop fliers from over the years. What a great way to quickly look through past programs. Also, I found a binder with Appropriate Technology Transfers (the CCAT biannual publication) from as far back as 1989. I was impressed that HSU has been having “donation dashes” since their early days (For details on what donation dashes are see my June 7 entry).
I’m still stumbling around emotionally, losses are interesting to undergo. I’m reminded of the Janis Joplin quote “Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose”. I am certainly getting closer to freedom, and thinking more about what I want out of my life because of it.

Questions:
-If the SENS program were to start putting out a periodical, what time frame would be appropriate?
-CCAT staggers the terms of directors. This sort of happens in the SENS house. Would it be beneficial to institutionalize this practice?
-Would it be practical for SENS to have volunteers be tour guides to ease up some of the directors’ time?

Feelings:
I feel as though my personal loss may allow me to be more present in my Arcata life.
