dear yan, i took some time to meditate today. i went to the serenest place i know and felt at peace. we all need time for something like that. and surprisingly it's not unlike the feeling you get from doing some hard physical labor. today i was hammering and sawing and lifting, working on the studio - it felt good. somehow renewing. and now that i'm writing all this about renewal and serenity, it makes me think of that time we walked through the high cattails frozen in the lake. perfectly serene.

looking forward to the engagement sessions this weekend. i'm sure the yan fans are too.

love,

marty
