Log:
Tying up an internship is more work than I’d guessed! I spent my morning faxing my time cards and meeting with my supervisor. I spent the afternoon packing and trying to decide what I couldn’t do without seeing again. Let alone packing, which inevitably got pushed farther back than it should have on my to-do list. One last run with Krystal in that beautiful forest. We pretended to fly, it was a joyful occasion. After the run, the exciting CCAT talent show was slated to begin. Due to only one guest and no dinner yet, we pushed back the start time of the talent show and played cooperative games in the meantime. This was also a joyful time! The talent show was an incredible display of odd talents, beautiful music, and community. I never expected to meet so many wonderful people in this place. I recall early on writing about what balance of solitude I might find here. How amusing! I ended the evening by being declared the number one CCAT intern, officially (with a beautiful sash and everything), along with at least a million heartfelt hugs. What beautiful people! Just when I thought my evening was over a friend decided a night hike would be appropriate. The conversation was brimming with absolute presence. We discussed the concept of time as well as comfort and growth. All three of which are twisting together for me at the moment, I’m finally comfortable here and time has expired but I’ll take all of the growth with me when I leave.

Questions:
-It’s not possible to tie up all of the ends I’d like to, what can I get done?
-What will southern California be like?
-Will I ever have a better summer?

Feelings:
Whenever I think it’s the last time I’ll see the community forest, or a friend I always seem to run into them again. I somehow know that this will continue through out life. There’s now a handful more people I can whole heartedly count on in this world, and it’s a small place (thankfully).
